Bluebelle Park

My kids and I play basketball here every night around 9-10ish and it's always pleasant... We've gotten pretty good at shooting hoops without any light, just the moon. So of course we'll continue to keep 🏀 in there. ****

This park was recently redesigned and built. It's SOOO fun. The big kid side provides some level of complex thought play, involving safety and pathway choices. The rope climbing is a new design not typically found at other parks. This section is really designed for big kids in mind because smaller kids may not be able to use the full function of the structure. The little kid section has a lot of interesting pieces to it and climbing options, plus a slide. The MOST interesting piece is the car track. The car will not slide independently the whole track, but it is fun for littles who really loves cars. A larger 4-5 year old may be too big for this space. (Mine was, but he made it work.) This neighborhood park does not have a bathroom. It does have a couple benches and picnics tables and a basketball hoop. It has four swings, two baby style and two older kid style. These are not made for thicker adults. The design of the older kid swing is a tight fit. The greenery and bike/walking path is really nice and feels like I could really let me kids go wherever and still see them from any spot I stand. I LOVE that aspect the most!

I feel uncomfortable when visiting this park. First, because the entrances are unmarked, narrow, and tucked in between houses. It feels like trespassing. Second, once you're in, you're surrounded by private backyards. (Some with dogs that will bark at you until you leave.) Its WAY too intimate while also feeling a little sketchy because of the seclusion and "secret" location. Which brings me to my third and final point: there's usually bad company. This is where and middle school tweens and teens go to bully each other, litter, and draw private parts on things.

A great place to go sit back and just take in the scenery and relax.

Awesome hidden gem. No road access so park next to the entrance on bluebell road and walk in, or there's multiple neighborhood entrances.
