One of our FAVORITE parks! I'm a mom of 3 (6,4,1) and this park is perfect for them. First, it's…read moreall a height that doesn't give me a heart attack to let them play freely. Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!

We were the only ones on the playground the entire time-about an hour. Meanwhile we were able to meet a bunch of nice dogs going on long walks. Oak Tree Park pavilion is available to rent through the Brentwood Park system. It's pretty cheap ($60 for non-residents, $40 for residents). There are four picnic benches under the shelter, where the bathrooms are also located.

My little one is a bit small for it, but he made a friend and they just ran up and down and around instead of going down the slide. There are two entrances and therefore, two parking lots - I just wish there was a clearer path from the furthest parking lot. There is a lot of grass, but also a lot of dog poop you need to avoid. It seems well-maintained especially the bathrooms! There was also a free little library at the pavilion which was cute.

But- parking... Brentwood Parks And Recreation needs to align with the city to help with signage for parking. The lot is not large enough (maybe 60 spaces not positive) to have two directions. Even with it being clear to many that the natural flow was counterclockwise, a few felt the need to go against the natural flow. Then the streets around the park were full causing the streets capable of only allowing for a single lane of traffic. Even with a clear flow and literally no room for cars traveling in opposite directions... some attempted to push in, causing longer stand stills. It's like trying to go to the zoo/forest park on the weekends. But the park itself is fun!!! I do wish there was more shaded areas within the park itself. Parking needs to be fixed... there is no way an emergency vehicle could have gotten in to help if help was needed. That is a big concern.

This playground is an awesome kid hangout. My kids love this place and can play here all day. This…read moreplayground just opened last weekend and we went here this past Sunday.

It has tennis courts, hiking trails and great play areas for little people. I was impressed with the pavilion that the party I attended, was held in. It had plenty of outlets for the food table and it had huge ceiling fans to circulate the air. Best of all, there were attached restrooms and they were super clean. If you live near Sunset Hills, I recommend this park.

There is a tennis court, a big green playground for young ones, a trail, and such. There is also a wheelchair accessible swing, so that's really nice. Sitting areas are very clean as well. There are trash cans, a decent sized parking lot and the plants here are breath taking. Please go here, for almost any reason. My favorite place for activity.

That photo opportunity is South of Forest Park & 64/40 on Oakland Ave just East of Tamm Ave) AstroTurf type surface on a shock absorbing padding covers the playground, but not the "Secret Garden" or ramps. There is a toddler area, area for "big kids" & a "secret garden" though some bushes. While overall well designed... I do not like the many entry/exits & blind spots. The best area to keep track of the big kids maybe on the top of the ramp outside the wall. With mix toddler & "big kid"... follow UnCool Dave rules & tell the "big kids" they must stay on or over the AstroTurf area.

During our most recent visit a week or two ago, the bathrooms were closed for the season. There is also plenty of parking available. We take our dog here for walks.
