This park is pretty hidden. It took me a while to find.
My GPS stated the address as being on Burfoot Street (the alternate entrance from the residential neighbourhood, but note that signage indicates parking is not permitted on that street).
I did know that the park was located behind Tysons Pimmit Park Regional Library. However, the library was under construction and all parking entrances appeared to have been sealed off. So I circled around for a while, past the apartment complexes, then past the office building in the other direction. I drove back by the library and finally found a parking lot that curved around to the back that would lead to the park. It wasn't very visible.
Despite the effort of getting here, it is a nice green space. I saw several people power walking the trail loop, and a few dog walkers as well. A large field could be used for picnicking or playing sports.
There are two basketball courts and a picnic shelter with tables. The two play structures, one for younger tots and the other for older kids, are separated by the shelter and surrounded by woodchips. They're older construction but still in great condition. The warm summer morning I visited, the larger structure was completely in the shade, which was nice. I just wish there would have been baby swings for my little one who doesn't walk yet.
A nice spot to enjoy the outdoors and meet with friends. You just might have to drive around for a few minutes to find the entrance! read more
