Lattawood Park

Beautiful park. Little kids can cycle on the trail. Nice

A much needed open green space for those whose tiny backyard is little more than a restroom for their canine companion. The playground is pretty big and in good condition. There's a nice walking trail...a little small but nice nonetheless. There are even picnic tables tucked away in the trees if you want to enjoy lunch outside when it's not raining. Let me know when that happens and I might join you. It's never busy or crowded. Perfect for tossing a football around, too.

When I grew up in this neighborhood in the 80s, this was an elderly woman's property. Where the play structure is was her home. We played in those woods daily, and when we'd play football on the field she would bring out sodas for each of us. I imagine the neighborhood was farm land when she moved in and the dense suburbs grew around her property. And it seemed she loved to have a wide open space for the neighborhood kids to play. A younger family member would chase us off the property when they would visit, so I was surprised to see that this wasn't eventually turned into another culdesac. I wonder if she stipulated that her land become the official playground of the neighborhood. That's how I'd like to remember it. Also, when I was 10 I released a turtle I had into the creek there (it was the 80s - a kid gave me a turtle and I didn't know how to care for it. Did my parents even know?) I couldn't believe the playground had a giant turtle structure. The photo is of the old tree in which we built a tree fort. You can amazingly still see the ladder we built.

The kids actually enjoy the park. The swings are big enough for my teen kids. The play area is accessible enough my 7 year old can join them in playing as well. There is limited parking nearby if needed, the park itself is mostly accessible for those with limited mobility.

This park has a nice playground and reasonably sized field. This could be a nice park to take the kids for a shorter visit. There is enough room to throw a ball, play Frisbee or run around. They have a small grass hill below the playground that would be fun to sled in the winter.

Fun playground with a neat climbing turtle and structures with leaves that spiral like a staircase. A little advanced for my toddler, but that didn't stop her from having fun. The loss of a star is because there is no bathroom or port-a-potty here so our visit was cut shorter than we would have liked.

Lattawood is a spacious little neighborhood park nestled among the houses. A walking area allows for quick laps while kids play on the playground or the halfcourt. There also a shelter for picnicking. Parking is somewhat limited, so walking to the area is encouraged. No facilities either.

A wonderful, secluded little park that has space for playing sports on the grass or the basketball court, along with nice jaunty walking paths. Can't forget about my kids favorite area though, the jungle gym! They love it and it's fun and clean!

Lovely little neighborhood park. Very well kept and a great place for kids parties and gatherings (pre covid). Also, features a little trail on the one side.

This place is tucked away in a residential area with limited parking, and was a nice escape for my kids. They enjoyed the playground and swings and the grassy space to roam around in. Playground Decently sized. A few slides. Not many acrobatic strength activities.
