    Tot Lot - This little sand lot is PERFECT for toddlers and even my 4yr old was obsessed when we got here!

    Very cute park with a decent swing set and expansive jungle gym…read more There are also a lot of cars for kids of different sizes and a few small climbing/slide setups as well.

    I come here 4-5 times a week with the boy that I nanny for. We've been coming since he could walk…read more(so 4 months or so now) and it's a great space for toddlers. There is a large grassy area filled with toy houses that the kids can go inside. There are also some swings and a pretty toddler safe jungle gym. There are a few things about the jungle gym that aren't great for the under 3 crowd, namely a set of climbing rungs built for taller kids and there are 1 or 2 spots on the second level that don't have a railing so if your child doesn't understand how gravity works yet they are liable to step off the edge and fall 4-5 feet to the sandy ground. There is also a cement area with 2 toy basketball hoops that I've witnessed many a stumbling toddler fall on. I appreciate all the benches for parents and misc. caregivers to sit and chat (a big plus if you're there for 1-2 hours a day and don't feel the need to hover obsessively over your child). Best part is that it's gated and that almost every area of the park is clearly visible from every bench (again, great if your an aware, but not obsessive parent). The only major con is the cleanliness of the park, specifically the amount of trash on the ground. There are a few garbage cans but I regularly see people just leaving napkins and wrappers on the benches or ground. It would be great to see people throwing out their trash or seeing the city clean up once in a while. Another lesser con is that nobody bothers to throw away any broken toys, there have been a few times that I've had to deal with a baby crying because I wouldn't let him impale himself on a jagged, broken shovel piece. So that's less than ideal.

    Buffinton Park - Cool old sign

    Dogs trees and…read morelove Buffinton Park is a quiet little park on land that was donated to the town in honor of Thomas Buffington. A bit confusing to find because some on some maps the street and park are spelled Buffington and on others it is just Buffinton. Not a whole lot in the park, some swings and playground stuff and a few walking paths. Seems it's a popular place with dog walkers because we saw a whole lot of different canines while exploring the place. The park does have some pleasant old trees and a few huge glacier boulders. Unfortunately stupid graffiti is present in a few places around the park. None of it really offensive, just some local knuckleheads declaring their unending love for some girls, although I tend to doubt that spray painting your name on a boulder or wall really impresses many girls. The paths are nice and go off into the woods a bit but it's not large enough for a real hike. Just a pleasant little park for some quiet, see some nice dogs or read about the love life of a local kids.

    While Buffinton Park appears to be a peaceful neighborhood space, there are so many discouraging…read morerules here that make it almost not worth visiting at all. First, no pets allowed! What, how?! During my visit, my husband and I were literally the only people in the park, and we can't bring our well-behaved, leashed dog to sniff around? Not OK. Second, there are so many signs posted throughout the park with the most ridiculous rules. I am guessing that at some point in the past this may have been considered a sketchy park (there are several large boulders covered in graffiti), but why make the rest of the community suffer because due to the childish acts of a few unruly adolescents? For example, there is "no congregating" allowed. This is so freaking vague and unnecessary. You mean I can't meet up with a few adult friends to hang out here or play a game of pick-up football? And I can't bring my [future] child here to meet other moms and kids for a play-date or picnic? With this kind of signage, what point is there to having a public park at all? The signs also state there is "no loitering in or near autos." I mean, I kind of get it. The intent is probably to discourage backseat teen make-out sessions, but does this also mean that if I drive my car to the park I'm not allowed to park it anywhere near where I'm going to be sitting? Again, vague and a bit nonsensical. Finally, the children's playground equipment here is dated and rusty. This is not really a problem on its own, but coupled with the park's other restrictions, I'm surprised there isn't a sign stating that visitors must keep off the playground entirely. In all, Buffinton Park is a little hidden spot in a quiet neighborhood where even the most law-abiding citizens will have a hard time figuring out what is allowed here and what is not. And since the park is not open after dark, make sure you stay far away after sunset and before sunrise, or your risk of being arrested increases exponentially. I'm not inclined to return.
