Who knew a secluded playground and splash pad existed behind the hospital on Olive?  We stumbled upon this little paradise recently and it's been a family favorite ever since!

 The walking trail took us on a scenic journey past a baseball field and through an open field, making us feel miles away from the suburbs. With a kid-friendly half-mile length, it's perfect for our little ones' bike rides.

The playground area was a treat with a large pavilion and picnic tables scattered throughout. On one side, we found newer equipment with a rock wall and multiple slides - endless fun! We loved the inclusive swings nearby. On the other side, a more relaxed play area awaited our younger ones, although we noticed a few broken pieces that could use some updates.

The splash pad, while not the most impressive, still provided some watery fun on hot days. But here's the exciting news – this whole park will undergo a complete remodel this fall, reopening next spring, and guess what? The splash pad's size will double! 🎉 Can't wait for the grand reopening next spring!
