Love the turf rather than wood chips or another typical fill. not really sure why there are huge areas with sand. I think every parent dreads when their kids wander over there. I haven't seen an area where it's particularly easy to clean them off afterwards. Today we went to their brand new splash pad and had a decent experience. this area also has a nice large space with durable equipment. It's just too much of a mess when it comes to the age range. there's really no way to redesign it at this point, but maybe the Parks department could consider different times for different ages. A 9 AM start for children under the age of 5(older siblings could be approved, but just extra cautious during this time) and then open it up to the rest of the ages at 10 AM. this was our first time going, but other moms commented that last week they had umbrellas up at the start of the day. Not sure why they didn't provide any shaded areas within the splash pad today. for today, I would probably give it about a 3.5 but there definitely has the potential to be a four or five star creditexperience in the future

You won't find tons of traffic, people, noise or banter. IF that's what ya want, head to the beach! Instead you will find solace. Serenity. Quiet. A place to relax and reflect. The park is 'anchored' by a small lake. No speed boats, just reflections of the clouds above. There are a few small trails to conquer. And a short rickety wooden bridge, not much higher than tall grass, and no longer than a moment. But it's all a portrait of simple pleasures. I will sometimes just sit at one of the rustic wooden picnic tables and wonder how that huge oak got uprooted but still thrives. For me that's a symbol of pure survival, and a reminder to us humans. If you let it, time can slow down or even stand still here. Leave the driving to Mother Nature, and relax. Enjoy!

On our quests to find new places to walk/home we found Fickett. It's a nice, dirt path with a few…read moresigns about every half mile. There are a couple little bridges also. It is a completely dirt path so expect lots of bugs, dress appropriately and bring bug spray. However, it's completely shaded the whole path, so while it does get hot and humid, at least you don't have the actual sun beating down on you! Our only complaint was no benches or picnic tables to sit down and snack afterwards. Not a horrible complaint as out car works just fine, we just enjoy having a snack after we walk and eating it outside. We will definitely be returning to this oayh more often!

(It was closed in 2011.) Amity Trails Park is 8.5 acres of tree-covered open space that is surrounded by private homes & paved roads. It holds approximately five wooden, covered picnic tables (no grills), some wooden benches, a wooden bike rack, & some trash cans. There's a mulched walking trail, but perhaps the best feature is the large open area that makes this park great for a friendly game of football, soccer, kickball, & frisbee. Visitors can even toss a blanket on the ground for a picnic lunch. There is an area for parking; it is covered in small white rocks. As I exited my vehicle & walked into the park, I was almost immediately greeted by a large turtle who hurried into her underground home. What a lovely little park that brings nature into the heart of a busy town. If I lived closer, I would picnic here often.
