R Park really surprised me…read more My kids and I met my cousin and her daughter here under the promise of a "very cool" bike path for kids we'd heard rumor of. We'd never been so it was a total unknown to all of us. When I looked it up I noticed that it's a true neighborhood park, which had me wondering if it would really live up to the hype as often neighborhood parks are on the smaller side of things, but holy cow for a small park this is really great and makes good use of space. The bike path which we came for was in fact very cool. It has two roundabouts and goes around the park in a sort of half circle loop. It's definitely for little kids and our kiddos played on it for almost two hours. It also has these sort of mini dmx hills for kids to play on with their bikes and scooters and that was honestly pretty cool to see and fun to watch the kids try out. Aside from the bike path it has two playgrounds, one for little kids that my 18month old loved, and one for big kids that our older kids enjoyed. It also has bathrooms and a shelter. I thought the restrooms could have been cleaner and set up a bit better. It was a very weird set up as it was two gender neutral restrooms with one toilet in each and one stall in each but no locks on the door. I really wish the city would implement locks - it's weird to me that you could be in the stall and have anyone just walk in and stand outside the stall while you're in there - if it was more than one it would feel much more normal, but again stalls are kind of odd in a gender neutral space. I'm all for gender neutral restrooms BTW, I just think these need some re-thinking.

There are two areas with swings and there are various benches for parents. They have a walking trail around the park and basketball courts. They also have a cool scooter paved street, with stop signs and wavy pavement and Hills for some extra excitement! A neat concept for kids to enjoy scooters! They also had what looked to be an enormous flying bike that kids probably could climb on, but it was surrounded by construction fencing so they may have just installed it or we're fixing it.

There is also a playground that was being remodeled when I last went there on Saturday. When i went during the summer there was always kids and their parents playing on the playground. There is also a soccer field and a baseball diamond and I know some kids have their soccer practices here for recreational leagues. Even though this park is really small, it is a great place to go walking or jogging. It is really popular for this, especially in the early evenings. The trail also feeds into the neighborhood behind the park in case you want to take an extended walk.

It has all of the above except for the toddler swings. Not an end-all for us because, honestly, my toddler mainly just collects rocks and sticks the whole time and has a blast doing so. This park feels very safe, which is the biggest pro! Definitely high on our list of parks.

This is my new favorite playground in the area. The Mission Hills Playground it located behind the…read moreMission Hills City Hall (accessible from Mission Drive, between Tomahawk and 63rd Street) sits secluded, surrounded by verdant trees that shield it from the road. The playground equipment is suitable for children of various ages, including a rock climbing wall, monkey bars, slides, a fireman's pole and other such features. For my preschool children, the monkey bars are too high to reach, but they are able to enjoy themselves with all of the other attractions. The especially love to climb on the twisted green curve structure, the likes of which I have never seen on another playground, and to go down the steep slides. The park feels very safe due to both its isolation and the regular comings and goings of police officers into the City Hall building and parked in the lot. (Anyone who has ever driven up and down 63rd Street in this neighborhood knows well that the Mission Hills police officers like to catch speeding motorists by hiding on Mission Drive and other such small residential roads) There are three benches surrounding the playground. Usually one or two of the is in the shade at any given hour. Although it is impossible to see the entire playground from any one of the benches, the area is such that one can sit and watch his or her children playing fairly well from these seats. There is also a picnic table located off of the parking lot, near the outbuilding. Perhaps the best feature of this park is the public restrooms located in a small outbuilding off of the parking lot. As those with potty trained young children know, the need for a child to relieve himself often comes suddenly and most urgently, so it is delightful to have a clean facility on site. It is one spacious stall (with plantation shutters on the inside window, no less--swanky!), and it is clean. It remains open during daytime hours. Rumors suggest that a brick walkway to it from the playground may be added in the future.

As a kid, we got a go-kart and this was the only place to legally (?) take that sucker out, so we had fun riding all around here causing mischief. Since then, it's always had a bit of an odd vibe.. maybe that's more specific to the neighborhood down the hill from it. There used to be this old house that was essentially boarded up and had monkey sculptures all around it. As if that wasn't enough, anyone who slowed down to look at it would have her come out and yell.. horror movie vibes. We also drove down that way one time but the bridge was out, and some drunk people playing in the streets shouted at us and threatened us if we didn't get out. So you can see where I'm not exactly feeling the area here. The park is what it is, a green space that isn't as well kept as other parks in the area, and has the dull white noise of cars whizzing by on I-35 in the background. It's fine for rec league softball and probably great for frisbee golf, but not a park I'd saddle up to with the family for a picnic.
