Small cozy park featuring tennis courts, some picnic tables, a BBQ pit, a big field and a small playground for young children.
Just blocks away from Mission Boulevard, you'll find Stony Brook Park nestled in the residential neighborhood. Shaded by tall trees, a pair of picnic tables invite visitors to dine in the outdoor space. With a small BBQ grill, you'll be able to cook some small meals. You'll need to bring your own tools and be prepared to clean the space beforehand, but it's a pretty quiet park and you'll likely be able to keep the space for the whole day.
If you're coming with children, the playground nearby hosts a variety of modalities including a tire swing, baby swings, climbing structures, and slides. Also, the grassy field is big enough to host a small pick-up game of football, kickball, or soccer.
There also seems to be a steady group of tennis players who have utilized the courts. Some have even hosted what looked like a tennis camp or instructional for kids. Although the parking lot is pretty small, aside from the tennis players and a few visitors to the residents nearby, it doesn't get too full throughout the day.
Overall, Stonybrook Park is a quiet park and can entertain small gatherings and playground visits. If you're not nearby, there are definitely more interesting parks like Seven Hills just a few blocks away. However, if you're looking for a more intimate time at a park, Stonybrook may be a great fit! read more
