This Mt. Vernon neighborhood park is a worthwhile stop for little ones.
Mt. Vernon Children’s Park is truly a community park. As their website explains, “The Mount Vernon Children’s Park, the first recreation area for families in the history of Mount Vernon, was a community-led effort culminating in the opening of the park in 2006.”
Today, the park is a lovely space that’s designed for kids 10 and under and includes a sandbox, climbing equipment, a huge see-saw and even a splash pad that operates in the summer! The park is by no means the largest playground in the area but it may win the title for most charming.
Local artist David Hess was the designer of the beautiful pavilion that greets visitors upon arrival. Small bistro tables are provided for families that wish to enjoy dinner or lunch. And the entire park has a solid rubber surface so kids can play anytime, even after heavy rain.
The area offers paid street parking as well as some public garages. The park is open from 9:00 AM-8:00 PM in the summer with the splash pad operating from 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM. During the rest of the year, the park is open 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM.
