Lower Hillcrest Reserve Playground

Locals with young kids know this one well — it’s a solid afternoon option when you just need somewhere low-key and well-kept. The open grass field gives little ones room to run around while older family members can stretch their legs on the walking path or kick a ball around on the soccer field. It won’t blow your mind, but that’s kind of the point — it’s the kind of park you can count on to be tidy and calm. Good pick for toddlers and preschoolers especially.
