I'm starting to become a fan of Memphis' smaller green spaces. There are small parks and massive…read moremedians scattered around the city that are usually less crowded than the large parks. That's why I love Peabody Park in midtown. It's smaller and less crowded than nearby Overton Park, and it's got some unique features. There are two large metal sculptures by local artist Yvonne Bobo, a pavillion, and a large playground. But the best thing about Peabody Park is the splash park. During the summer, it's packed with kids trying to cool off in the intermittent spray from fountains, geysers, misters and rainfalls. The park is also home to the Raymond Skinner Center, a community recreation center that has special resources for people with mental and physical disabilities. The splash park at Peabody Park is free and open daily during the summer.

Peabody Park is my favorite park in midtown. There are multiple slides, swings (including infant…read moreswings), monkey bars, fun little tunnels and playground games for the kids. There's also a little pavilion near the playground and a larger one off to the side near the splash park. During the summer, our girls love to don their bathing suits and run around in the motion controlled splash park sprinklers. There are smaller ones for the little kiddies and larger splashes for the fearless older kids. The equipment is all in good shape, and I never worry about my kids getting hurt. When we go out for family day, this is one of our favorite stops.

The private party room as taken, but we were able to have a little space to ourselves off to the side where there was a long table and some chairs. If you remember to bring table cloths, you should be fine. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time! Let me just say that the staff is wonderful as well. I'm not sure of the gentleman's name behind the counter, but he was always so patient and courteous and very helpful!

Spring has sprung! And what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than traipsing through the forest, like a chipmunk, with a pal!
