Lacey Woods Park (22205)

For some reason, when I plan an outing to a park, I almost always forget about Lacey Woods.  I’m not sure why, as it is a lovely little park with a variety of play options for a variety of ages.  It has almost all the ingredients necessary for a fun outing at the park.  My kids would like it better if it had big kid swings, but, aside from that, there is plenty to do.

Lacey Woods has one big play structure for older kids, but of course, all ages have fun on it.  It’s fairly large and includes a twisty tube slide.

One of my kids’ favorite features is the zip slide, or whatever you call these things:

There is also a smaller play structure intended for the younger set.

Adam liked hopping on these mushroom stools.

While there are no “big kid” swings, there are two bucket swings for the little ones:

There is also a nice little sand area that stays quite shady.

It’s nice to have bathrooms and a water fountain on site.  There is also a covered pavilion with picnic tables.  On the other side of the bathrooms is the basketball court, which several kids enjoyed riding their bikes on.

All in all, this is a great little park that stays quite shady, which makes it a great destination on a hot summer day.
