It's a great small park
Read more about Manor ParkFlick Park is a great spot for families with little kids. It has plenty of slides and play structures to keep children entertained, along with a spacious grass field perfect for running around. We were even surprised by a couple of deer that wandered out of nowhere.
Read more about Flick ParkMy son and I had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful park! It's great for children and includes a nice splash pad. I'm planning a family picnic here. Can't resist.
Read more about Gallery ParkReally unique park! The castle design is great for imaginative play. Sprawling gardens and paths make for a beautiful landscape. There is a large sand pit and splash pad. The whole place is fenced in which is nice, however it is huge so it's hard to keep track of your kids. Especially when there are so many hills and trees and bushes I couldn't find my kids at all ha. Free parking in lot. No swings. Padded or grassy ground. Not necessarily recommended for older kids as the playgrounds is better for 1-6ish year olds - I say this because it's small and doesn't have a lot of challenging aspects. Definitely will be back!
