Next were the shelter and playground on the left of the drive. On the right side on a small hill was located multiple tennis and basketball courts. To the west was a baseball diamond. The maintenance crews were busy trimming and mowing which made my visit a bit shortened, but I was glad to see the park getting plenty of attention. The only negative I saw was that the permanent restrooms had experienced some vandalism; still working, but signs of damage to the walls and attempts on the plumbing left me shaking my head. But overall, the park had a lot to offer, particularly for those with an interest in fitness. Plenty to do and not too crowded. Review #1093

Fall Park is a beautiful retreat in the heart of Pendleton with a rich history. According to…read morehistorical plaques, indigenous people found refuse in the beautiful natural falls. Early settlers moved to the area in 1818 and harnessed the energy of the falls for milling and other uses. A cannery and quarry thrived on the banks of the beautiful creek. After which the area became a neglected dumping grounds. In 1919, a local business man had the vision to clean up the property and turn it into a park. Today, the park is beautiful with a massive modern playground, restroom facility, picnic pavilions, paths along the creek and naturally terraced falls. The quarry was turned into a lovely little pond complete with a folk art lighthouse. A quiet war memorial stands on the north side of the pond. I enjoyed my walk through the manicured grounds with gardens and shaded by large trees. Plenty of parking areas meander through the park. Fishing is permitted in the stream. The park is now host to annual events. This is a fabulous community park with beautiful natural elements, great facilities and a little history.

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.
