I was in the Arlington area with my nephew and Yelped area parks for him to play. Chestnut Hills…read morePark came up and I was intrigued by the good ratings. This is a great playground! I was impressed by the size and how well kept it was. There is a rubberized surface play area for toddlers; with climbing structures, rolling hills, swing sets and even an enormous sandbox. There was also a large play area geared for older kids on the other side of the park. There is plenty of benches and shaded areas to sit and chill. Bonuses: There were many plastic ride on vehicles and cozy coupes scattered around for the kids to use. My nephew loved playing and riding on them. Also, the area is gated and we felt safe in the playground even though this park is right off a busy street. There are plenty of street parking as well.

What a great park with two really nice play areas! My daughter is 3 and enjoyed both sides of the…read moreplayground. One side is not very shady and is meant for bigger kids. They have sand to play in and a water feature which was a big hit with all the kids. Nice track to ride around and lots of things to climb, swing, and slide on. It's a busy place. Also someone made a comment about the diversity at this playground. When I was there today there was a good mix of people from different racial backgrounds, kids and adults. Also different types of family groups. There were signs for a bathroom but I didn't see it.

Some of the playground equipment is a little older but there's enough here to keep kids entertained for a couple of hours. There's a little shelter/house, climbing bars for older kids, and a fire truck apparatus. Immediately outside the playground area is a covered picnic shelter, basketball courts, and soccer field, which I have never seen used. This is a nice option for those seeking a more private/quieter park experience.

We often head towards Route 7 when we we're looking for things to do with our two small kids (3 and…read more1), so it was from the recommendation of another parent that we try this 'hidden' park, that they described as the private community park that no one else knows about. And they're right; there's almost no way you'd know this park is here unless you lived here or you scoped the FCC parks website before wandering around. There's no signage outside of one announcing the name of the park in front of it* and no directions from West St. to lead you there. Mostly, after spending the afternoon at the park, I can understand why the locals wouldn't want anyone to know about it: it's great! A huge field for running around, or a makeshift soccer game; a fairly extensive playset for the younger kids; a grill and a covered area to have a picnic. There's not much parking available other than on-street and, being that this is a residential neighborhood, you're parking in front of people's houses rather than in a parking lot. The fields/playset back up directly to people's backyards so anywhere someone doesn't have a fence, it can get a little weird when you make eye contact with people who are just hanging out at their house. But regardless, a great neighborhood park and a good asset for FCC, at least if you can find it. * - Moose out front shoulda told ya.

Lots of fun times here. When my son was 3 to 6 years old, he was thrilled to go here. It was fun…read moregoing recently with a friend and their little one. Now I have a 13 year old with a different attitude and eye rolling. Yet coming back here was worth it. You do have to park on neighborhood streets, but unless a nice weekend, it's relatively a cinch. This park is fenced in. Please still watch your kids though! There are a lot of toys for them to play with. I think people donate items here. There's also some playground equipment. It's not fancy but it's good for small children and families.

Reviewing as a pregnant mom with a 21 month old who visited around 10 am on a Thursday after school…read morewas back in session for the area/ Parking: perfect! Right on the street next to the park, I had no problems finding multiple parking spots which was great! Bathrooms: right on the side, nothing fancy. Single bathrooms, spacious to bring your stroller in. Park: park itself looked underwhelming but once I started strolling through, I noticed how many play areas there were. There were at least 4 different swing areas (bucket and regular swings), there was a sandbox with toys (no slide anymore), two park playgrounds (one for toddlers one for big kids) and plenty of benches for parents, along with a sort of merry go round that my son loved pushing Crowd: great diversity and different ages there. When I went there were a lot of nanny groups and kids all playing together. My son is a little younger than the crowd and isn't used to playing with others but he enjoyed watching nearby. Seating: like I said, tons of benches set up at each little attraction, a good amount of picnic tables where the older kids were having lunch outside which I loved! Overall my son stayed for 1.5 hours and would've stayed longer if we weren't needing to leave for nap time. Great time! Wish I had taken more pictures but I'll update with overall area pictures when we go back next which I know will be in the next couple days!

There's much to love about this park: 1) Parking- there's a large, free parking lot at the front. 2) Grounds- there's a small playground, fields, and plenty of trees to give cover in the heat. 3) Garden- a large community garden is in the back of the park near a small bridge over a creek. Nearby are wild raspberry and blackberry bushes. 4) Farmers market- Friday mornings they have a farmers market in the parking lot. This is a true neighborhood spot.

It's a neighborhood gathering spot for families and friends. I think it would be smart, if the county put some grills and tables here. Then again who knows. The playground is a decent size. There are some bars to climb on and the like. It's newer too and my guess is safer. What we grow up on, is no longer around thanks to who knows what.

There is plenty of parking. Also they have quite regular farmer's markets.
