Welsh Park - Welsh Park woods alongside trail

Welsh Park has something for everyone. It has modern…read moreplayground equipment with a climbing wall. There is also an individual swing set. For those who are older, the park has two paved paths that are maybe .25 miles and uphill. The paths are surrounded by mature deciduous trees. One path leads to the side edge of the park which is closed to cars but can be exited by foot. The other path leads to the baseball diamond. If you take a side path instead of following it up, you will get to the basketball court. The park looks small from the front but it just keeps going back and back and back and up. It was an absolute joy to be able to walk sure-footed on a paved path with my Service Dog yet still be amongst the trees.

Welsh Park is a peaceful and safe neighborhood park with lots of trees. It's a pleasant shady spot…read moreto eat lunch at a picnic table. The picnic area has plenty of garbage cans which park staff empties regularly. There's a metal and concrete grill available for bbq. Two different jungle gyms with slides and a small climbing wall will keep the little ones entertained. A wooden staircase through the trees leads to a basketball court and baseball field. Bring your own water! This park doesn't have any water spigots, drinking fountains, or flush toilets. There's a port-a-potty at one end of the parking lot. The parking lot is big and free. (The whole park is free). Usually this park doesn't have many people or dogs. The road it's on doesn't get much traffic either, making Welsh Park relaxing and quiet.

Such a great park. You have a huge open space for kids to…read morerun around and play... on this particular day, a lot of kids were out playing soccer.. Nice size playground with swings and such.. Decent amount of benches and there is a nice table under a gazebo type situation.. perfect for enjoying a lunch in the park. The best part are the trees!! I had no idea that there were many different trees planted in the park--with the added value of being able to read what kind of tree you were lucky enough to come across. I find that so dope and a great unexpected lesson in science for my LO. She found it quite interesting. And the best kept secret.. there is a butterfly park in the back of the park with seems to be a cool trail.. I was just too chicken to go since it was about dusk and no one else accompanied us. Just another reason to come back really soon!

This park is a great, safe place for families to take their kids in the surrounding neighborhood…read more Alongside the main playground area, there are water fountains, a gazebo, and seating areas below the great oak tree. There is also a cute butterfly garden adorned with colorful stones, benches, and paintings. Not much has changed since I came here as a little kid- there are still long walkways in which kids can learn how to ride their bikes, big trees to charade around, and park benches to rest on. Would highly recommend for any family or person looking for a nice place to walk and play.
