Lyons Cove Memorial Park

Small but solid, this little park punches above its weight for families with young kids. The equipment is brand new, which honestly makes a bigger difference than you’d think — no splinters, no wobbly bits, just clean gear the 2-to-10 crowd can actually enjoy. The fully fenced play area is a huge plus if you’ve got a runner on your hands. Swing options cover all the bases: regular, baby, and handicap-accessible, so nobody gets left out. Shade trees and benches mean you can actually sit comfortably while the kids do their thing, and the toddler-sized picnic table is a nice touch that most parks around here skip.
