Location - between Wilson-Downing and Man o'War, backs up to Tates Creek Kroger, Meadowbrook Park
Playground? yes
Trails? yes (paved)
Other? tennis courts, adult swing, little free library, creek
We first went to this park on a rainy day in November. We had fun with our umbrellas, and the creek was extra high from all the rain.
This boy is no longer content being strapped in the wagon unless he's very tired!
They loved this swing off the walking path.
In January, we returned on a day when the playground was empty.
Pogo stick (kind of!). We haven't seen these at the other playgrounds.
I will say... the slides here made me nervous. The older ones obviously could handle them, but the slides are very tall with openings right next to them, and an easy staircase for the little boys to climb up to the top without any help.
We ended up going by the creek for awhile, and I walked with the little boys when the big boys wanted to go back to the playground a little longer.
Playing a little game of "Sink or float?"
I was intrigued by this tree. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but it had thorn branches coming out of the tree. The thorns were pretty sharp, too! I'm not sure how the thorn branches were able to grow out of the tree.
Dandelion in January!
We found a painted rock from Tennessee!
Returning a book to the little library.
(Note: We have visited 50+ parks in Lexington since the beginning of Covid. These are not meant to be extensive reviews but more a record of our experiences. Eventually I will add hyperlinks to all the blog entries here)
