What a PERFECT splash pad for toddlers! Most of the water is coming up instead of pouring down on them, which many little kiddos don't like. My 11 month old loved it. It has bathrooms, a nice shelter house, multiple shade trees by the pad, and a nice, toddler friendly park. There is a school nearby, so you can easily try a new park if you wanted. There is street parking next to the park, or a small parking lot on the other side.

Wonderful playground area for younger kids, those 7 and under would enjoy it the most.

Fairmeadows Park offers a lovely place to play or hang out, conveniently located by Grantwood Elementary. It has a newer playground on it, including some swings, it has a Splash Pad available during the summer, and has a pair of restrooms during the warm months. The park is dog friendly but is not an off-leash park. Has many picnic tables in a few clusters.

Backing Grant Wood Elementary, this medium sized park has lots to offer. The park is nicely shaded and has a splash pad, playground, and play field. There is also access to the schools playgrounds and the sycamore green belt trail. The equipment is looking dated, but still fully functional. The stand alone slide and jeep are great for littles, the little play house is great when kids start playing pretend, and the climbers are great climbing practice as kids get older. The splash pad, open Memorial Day through Labor Day, was constructed in 2013 and lots of fun for all ages. Special features: Splash pad Play field (soccer) Play equipment: Slides: 1 tube, 1 double, 1 spiral, 1 regular Swings: 4 regular, 2 baby, bench Climbers: chain ladder, spiral, dome Extras: jeep w/driving wheels, lots of hanging and monkey bars, play house Splash pad: 2 cannons, daisy spinners, lots of geysers and sprayers, frog waterfall, circle waterfall Amenities: 1 pavilion Parking: parking lot, street On-site water: yes, multiple locations On-site bathroom: yes

Great park. The school should organize a regular litter patrol. Teach kids not to litter. I make my kids pick something up every time. " its notyourgarbage but it is your park"
