Countryside Park

The pirate and ocean theme here is genuinely well done — kids get into it immediately, and it holds their attention longer than a standard playground setup would. Good range of equipment for the 2-9 crowd, with the climbing structure pulling its weight for older kids while the swings and seesaw keep the littles busy. Parents get shade trees and benches with solid sightlines, which makes a real difference on a hot Westminster afternoon. The basketball court and soccer field mean older siblings or adults aren’t just standing around waiting. It’s kept up well, which isn’t something you can say about every park in the area.
