Wow, what a beautiful park! Tallman Meadow Park is in one of the newer communities on the…read moresouth-eastern side of Parker. Cross streets are Hilltop Road and Canterbury Parkway, across the street from the high school. The fact that this park is newer really shows. All of the landscaping is immaculate, and the grass looks like it belongs on a golf course. I was so surprised to find this gem tucked away out here in the country! Amenities include a large gazebo with picnic tables, two charcoal barbecues, paved jogging trails, and a (mostly flat) grassy field. Additionally there are tons (literally!) of modern playground equipment on wood chips, including slides, swings, and a variety of jungle gyms. One potential negative is that the bathroom facilities appear to be port-a-potty style rather than a permanent structure with running water (I also did not see a drinking fountain anywhere). I did not personally have to visit the facilities during our afternoon here, so I can't speak to how nasty they may or may not be. I didn't hear anyone else comment about them, though, so maybe they're okay!

It's not an off leash park but locals seem to be used to doing this, so just be aware there will be curious pooches saying hello.

I like the ponds, the native wildlife and natural earth tone paths. One thing for sure is if you are out here for a period of time I would take some kind of bug spray. The mosquitoes were horrible. I also liked the sporadically places rocks, giant tree log, tree trunks and memorial benches place in this park. A soothing, gentle and relaxing atmosphere and area. I'll be back to explore more!
