This is a very pretty park in downtown SSI. There are ball fields and a playground, and across the street at Kings Park are tennis and pickleball courts, and a dog park. But if you're parking at Mallery, expect to just access the ball fields, restrooms and playground because the road between the parks is pretty busy (and there is a separate lot over there anyway).
Parking at Mallery was ample on a weekday evening in March, even with softball practice in session.
The playground has wood chips to keep things soft for kids. The slide/climbing structure is REALLY HIGH. I was really uncomfortable letting my toddler climb it. He was playing with older kids who were keeping an eye on him otherwise I'd not have allowed it. Parents of little ones, beware. Other apparatuses, like see-saw and swings were fine, but a small children area would be nice.
I'm grateful they had bathrooms, which is a step up from nothing or port-a-potties. However, the bathrooms were DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY. Like a stench, trash all over the floor, and even a broken lollipop to stick to your shoes. Yuk!
Overall the park is great, just make sure to use your bathroom at home before you visit! read more
