Stop by the park midway through your Greenway stroll!
Connecting to the Shelley Lake Trail this playground is a favorite in the community. Recently updated, the park is designed to be accessible for anyone who may come to enjoy it. A feature I find particularly engaging are the “expression swings” which allow parents and children to face each other while swinging. This is a really fun way to get involved with your children on the playground.
The spinner and climbing wall are also exciting features for the older kids and the log tunnels are fun for everyone. They also have tennis courts and baseball fields that stay well maintained if your family is looking for some athletic activity!
Missing summer in the cold weather? You can also head over to the indoor pool! Covered by a bubble-like structure during the winter this public pool is state of the art and a fun place to bring kids for a quick dip.
