There is a water fountain and the next door baseball field has restrooms. The highlight of the park is the playground which has multiple pieces for kids of all ages to play on. I was surprised at how many pieces of challenging workout equipment were on site. Lots of upper arm strength and balance needed for some. There was also a mixture of new play towers as well as an old school spiral slide and spinning wheel. The park was clean and had lots of mature trees for shade. For the size of the town, this is a really good option for entertaining the kids. Review #2820

What I like best about the park are the mature trees that provide lots of shade. Some of the trees are over 400 years old. There is a huge colorful playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. The base is a mix of mulch and soft matting. Benches line the area for parents to sit and watch kids . (The equipment could use a good cleaning from the trees.) There are two ball diamonds with bleachers within the park. A beautiful stream that meanders through the park attracts fisherman. Tree-covered picnic areas are scattered along the creek. The Vermont Covered Bridge spans the creek and is open to pedestrian traffic. There are restroom facilities near the playground. There are several parking areas throughout the park and you can drive along the creek. Highland Park is a great place to bring the family.

Right next to the display was a playground suitable for all ages. The slide is a bit high, and it seemed old, but in good condition. There are also covered picnic tables in the area. Down the ways a bit in the park is a red covered bridge that was fun to walk through and take some photos with. Lastly, there is a large pavilion stage area what was having an orchestra concert, free to attend, and the audience was partially shaded with some picnic tables in the back as well.

You will find this park just southwest of Greenfield Central Jr. High School and just off the Greenfield Baseball Park. There is more than ample parking available, but it could become tight during a baseball tournament though. One thing to keep in mind is that this is purely a playground. There is no green space, there are no trails, nor are there any tennis courts or basketball courts. I also did not see any restroom facilities, but that does not mean that they are not there. They have a decent sized picnic shelter with picnic tables under it. It is very nice. The play area has the rubbery mud free surface that is being used on most new playgrounds. The equipment is first class. There is a huge jungle gym with slides and a climbing net. There is a bank of swings with expression and traditional swings. You will also find congos, a saucer swing, a new age merry go round, and a sit and spin. Some of the equipment, including the jungle gym has a built-in shade and I love that they have placed benches around the play area where parents can sit and watch their littles. This inclusive playground features safety swings for children of all abilities, wheelchair ramps, and sensory stimulation such as musical instruments and roller-bar slides. It is first class and is in excellent shape. It still has that new car smell, so to speak. It is relatively small but has enough equipment to keep the littles entertained for s bit. This is a nice play option for those looking for a play space in Greenfield. I really like this playground and its inclusive theme. Many children with disabilities are left out of the planning of play spaces, but this one was actually designed with them in mind. I recommend checking this place out.

There is a lovely covered brick pavilion with picnic tables and restroom facilities. There are two gazebos which host concerts and other events. There was a church service in progress during my Sunday morning visit. The park is spacious with lots of mature trees providing shade. I loved walking through the park. People were friendly.

The park was donated by and is named after Henry Callaway and dates back to 1917 There are two entrances/exits to the park and an ample amount of parking. The park features a small amphitheater with seating, a gazebo, a large shelter with restrooms, and two small shelters with picnic tables under them and grills just outside of them. You will find a bunch of picnic tables and benches all over the parks grounds. There is tons of green space to play, an outdoor volleyball court and the park is home to a very extensive play ground. They have a fenced in playground for smaller kids with a merry go round, a small slide, a spinning net climber, rocking animals, and monkey bars. There is so much playground equipment here, all over the park. It has one of the tallest metal slides that I have ever seen at a park, there are a few banks of swings, giant tires to climb on, pebble bridges, a spiral slide, net swings, monkey bars, merry go round, a dome climber, a jungle gym, a log roll, a large play set structure, a rocking raft, an expression swing, see saws and a stand up swing. Like I said, it is a bunch of equipment, that is spaced out over the park. It is not the most modern equipment. But it is well maintained and in decent shape. Most of the equipment is constructed out of sturdy steel or aluminum. There are a couple of baseball fields on the park's outskirt. I am not sure if they are park of the park or not though. They are decent fields that would be good for some little league ball. Across the way from the park you will find the Birch Bayh Community Center. They have a couple of decent basketball courts over there. The tennis courts over there need a little TLC though. I was very impressed with this park, which is saying a lot, because I am more of a modern park guy. They host concerts, sporting events, and second harvest food banks. It would also be a nice place to jog. The park has a nice paved trail that winds though it. I would consider this a destination park and highly recommend checking this place out if you have the opportunity to.

The playgrounds are great and seemed pretty inclusive of most age ranges. There's a lot of climbing areas, some more like steps and some ropes and ladders, so they vary the challenge level. This was great for the littles I was with (4-5 yo) and still interesting for older kids I saw playing. Toddlers have their own little playground off to the side. They do have a glider for wheelchair users, but I don't think the rest of the main equipment would be accessible. Maybe the swings for some. There are a lot of mature trees off to one side and at least one picnic table over there. When the trees bloom for the year, it's going to be beautiful! They have a sand volleyball court, paved walking path, and I spotted a few more sports areas--basketball, soccer. There's potentially a lot to do here! Bathrooms were close to the playground and clean. It's close enough to go grab coffee or ice cream after as well, which in my opinion, makes it great for a day of fun. I'll look forward to seeing the park again later this spring/summer!

There was an area that looked as if heavy equipment were clearing the space for further construction. I didn't see any indication what would be going in, but it shows that the park is getting attention. It was well maintained and seemed to be clean. I didn't see any restrooms other than what may be inside the center. I parked along the street, but there was a lot at the center as well. Review #927

For a town of 1,600 people, Daleville's Town Hall Park is way more awesome than I could have ever…read moreimagined! The families in this cute town are super lucky to have such a great park with an amazing and large playground, a fantastic splash pad, a snack bar that sells snow cones in the summer, a train to play on, an amphitheater, a dog park, and even a cemetery! (Although, I wouldn't add the cemetery to the list of "lucky" attributes -- I just think it's interesting that there is a cemetery and a quiet space away from the playground at which to sit and reflect.) My children and I have been to a lot of playgrounds -- a lot. This is probably one of the best playgrounds I've seen in a while, and certainly the best playground in the area. It's so large that I was having a hard time taking a good photo of the whole thing. It's just so massive and sprawling. The playground is separated into an area for young kids under 5, and then an area for older kids. The toddler/younger kid area has pint-sized playground equipment, swings, a huge cement slide, a merry-go-round, a teeter totter and lots of space to run around. The older kid area is the perfect place to play hide and seek. There is just so many nooks and hiding places in the gigantic playground structure. There are bridges, ropes to climb, slides, stairs, rocks -- I can't even describe it well. Just look at my photos and you'll see how great it is. The playgrounds are outfitted with Astroturf, so the ground is nice and soft. The splash pad, which was turned off for the season when we were there, looks like it would be lots of fun. We'll have to come back in the summer and check it out. The splash pad is right next to the snack bar, which sells typical snack bar food (hot dogs, Uncrustables, nachos) as well as snow cones with dozens syrup flavors. There are tables all around the splash pad, so you can pick a table and see your kid play in the water. And best of all: There are big umbrellas around the splash pad, so there's shade! Off to the side is a big shaded atrium with picnic tables, and that's where the little train is. Kids can climb in and pretend they're train conductors and whatnot. As my kids were in the train, a real train came blasting by -- the park is close to the train tracks -- which lended a sense of realism to the whole thing. This park is a short three-minute walk to Dunn-Right, which sells great loose meat sandwiches, hot dogs and ice cream. You can really stay in this area of Daleville for hours.
