I was looking for something that was somewhat of a unicorn find. I needed a toddler safe playground…read morethat was also fenced off. My toddler is a runner, he's a track star. I came upon this park when doing a google search for local parks. I have to admit, I wasn't sure it was going to be as good looking in person as it was online, but it was a gorgeous afternoon and I had nothing else to do, so away we went! The location is tucked away right off of Baltimore Pike and Ring Road, behind the township's municipal building. There's a small parking lot and handicapped accessibility into the playground, as well as availability around the playground itself once inside the fenced area. This is a HUGE plus in my book, as I have handicapped family members and it's often hard for me to find a park that I can take both my toddler and family members to. The equipment is still practically new and in great working shape. There's a toddler side (ages 2-5) and older children's side (5-12) with lots of different options. There's also plenty of bench seating, as well as picnic tables. Right outside of the fenced playground area is a wonderful pavilion area with new and nicely kept patio furniture for lounging. There are two negatives I personally found: 1.) There are no trash cans at the park. This is a HUGE negative for me as a parent - kids make a LOT of trash. I have no issue taking my trash along with me home, however, I know there's plenty of other people that won't, and it'll end up being left behind. 2.) The walkway around the playground doesn't have a level amount of wood chips, so when you're making your way from the playground to the sidewalk, you can very easily fall onto the sidewalk. Which my toddler did and slammed very hard onto the sidewalk. This is definitely a safety hazard. With my two negatives being said, they are both things that can easily be corrected. Despite the massive amount of traffic flying by on Baltimore Pike during rush hour, it was quite peaceful and serene, with lots animals about and the Brandywine flowing behind the park. I look forward to many more visits to the park.

OK, so here's the thing... This isn't an Arboretum in the way you think of curated trees. And…read morealthough they tout the mature Woodland, there are some areas that are very recent growth. But it is truly a delightful nature area, nestled in the midst of a residential area, The trail which does have two entrances marked towards the right and left corners of meadow (from parking lot) is an actual loop trail. But there's no way to know that from the markings or even the Township description online since it says there's a spur that comes out on the far end. Leisurely pace for the loop 15 to 20 minutes depending on speed or longer if you want to stop and enjoy wildlife along the way. Very active bird calls, and visit The Township site said that it comes out on a route road further away and there does appear to be a smaller spur that would take you in that direction. Please be cautious and be prepared because there are a fair amount of downed tree to scramble over, Gulleys, that clearly fill up with water, and two rickety bridges, including one that has actual broken planks on it so test the wood as you walk across. It was very dry the day I came so my white gym shoes made it through but there are at least seven or eight major areas of true muck that will absolutely challenge your footwear if you're not prepared Really little hidden gem. Also worth taking a look at the rules of hopscotch on the embedded hopscotch layout. Clearly trying to make it fun for children.

Free township park, called an "arboretum". Parking is a gravel lot that can accommodate…read moreapproximately 15-20 cars depending on how courteously people park. Trash can is near entrance. Leashed dogs allowed (no dog waste bags). One source stated this is a 2.3-acre greenspace, however it appears to be larger on the township trail map. I did not see the trail map before my visit so I didn't get a chance to explore the trails. The property kind of bottlenecks after the lawn area around parking, and the "neck" is wooded area that passes between residential properties. It is helpful to know ahead that the property then will fan out to a much larger trail system, otherwise you may assume (like I) that it's one short trail, perhaps tributary-ing off to residences, and not worth exploring. Next visit I will pursue the trails! The lawn area by the parking lot is definitely a relaxing space with various benches and Adirondack chairs for sitting. Two Adirondack chairs are hugely oversized for pictures or kid fun. There is a small pavilion, and a maze-like swirl pattern set in the grass with paver stones. It is a fun and safe place to explore for outdoor time.
