Phillips Memorial Park

This park was a perfect outing for a light stroll with young children. Typically my young children cannot stay on their feet too long but they were just about able to do the whole walk around the pond. At the conclusion was a small playground with one of those tiny libraries (a small box where you can take or leave books) full of children books. Additionally, the trail was well maintained and for a portion well shaded. It is mostly gravel though, but we still managed a stroller. There is a large field as well, and next time I plan to bring a soccer ball or Frisbee for the kids to play with.

We have been exploring areas within an hour drive from us and came across this hidden gem last August (I'm going back and reviewing our 'adventures'). Very peaceful and serene. I can see spending the afternoon here with a good book or to journal.

This is a nice park with the lake and two playground sets. It has lots of tables and benches to eat lunch. It was very windy on one side of the lake but not windy on the other side. I came to this park before and I really enjoy it. It has a trail around the lake and in one spot there’s a mailbox where people can leave encouraging messages for others. When we arrived there were carriages with horses. I wonder what they were doing there. The lady was very nice and let us pet her horse.

What a great park! 2 playsets - a traditional one and a wooden train. Beautiful scenery with mature trees and pond. Nice rock walking path. It is also shaded around the playground, which is really nice in the summer. The walking path is partially shaded also.
