Betty Preston Reserve

Tucked into a quiet corner of Enfield, this little reserve punches above its weight for families with toddlers and young kids. The playground is simple — swings, a slide, seesaw, and a basic climbing structure — but honestly that’s all you need at this age, and it’s well-maintained enough that you’re not side-eyeing everything before letting them loose. There’s a historic mansion nearby that gives the whole place a bit of character, and the open grass field means kids can burn off energy beyond the equipment. Grab a picnic table and you could easily stretch a visit into a genuinely relaxing afternoon. Not a destination park, but if you live close, you’ll find yourself coming back regularly.
