Beaver Brook - Spray Deck & Playground
Park
👍👍 Great playground and splash pad. Busy! But there is ample seating and tables. Restrooms are close, clean and also plentiful. Trash cans are on site. Only downfall is that the parking lot is a decent walk if you can't find a limited street spot. I suggest bringing a stroller or wagon with younger kid...

Prospect Hill Park
Park
👍👍 WOW i was not expecting this to be an actual hiking park. Didn’t know what I was getting myself into bc I drove past it thinking it’s a flat elevation park that’s small. It’s anything but flat and the exact opposite of small. There is a small but free parking lot right at the entrance. I parked here...
