Bigelow Park

So after my first review, Fengie O. came to the rescue regarding the disappointment I originally felt about Bigelow Park. Thanks to her kind instructions, I found that I had gone to the wrong park. I actually visited a small patch of land next to someone’s house and thought that was the park. I was obviously off my meds that day.
Anyway, this park is major cute and nice for the kids or if you wanted to grill out. The amount of space between the grill stations is sufficient enough to not make you feel like you’re encroaching on someone else’s territory.
There is also a decent amount of kids equipment. It all looks pretty safe and there is even a single basketball net on the half court.
The park is surrounded by huge trees that in a way hide the grounds and provide ample shade. There are also unisex restrooms on site and doogy doo bags for life’s little messes. It’s definitely a nice park now that I actually went to the right one. Thanks Fengie.

Guess who finally moved near Bigelow Park? That’s right – I did! I can walk to the park from my house. It’s a decent sized park.
The equipment is appropriate for children 12 months old to 11 years old. Some children who have limited mobility can enjoy the play structures. The wide stairs are set near the ground so children can transfer out of wheelchairs and climb into parts of each structure.
My oldest kid will play football with her friends, but my 2 year old likes to hide in the tube connected to the small play structure and scream!
In addition to the 2 play structures, there are also two spinning toys. One is shaped like a cup. Kids sit in it and spin around. The other is a pole with a platform. 2 children get on the platform and spin each other.
There are swings for babies and for older children. The swings for the older children are set near the basketball court. The swings for the younger children are closer to the main play area. A tire swing is attached to the large play structure.
The park is surrounded by a grassy area. It’s fun to play soccer or football.
Keep in mind the area is not fenced. One of the grassy sides of the park is right next to a moderately busy road. It’s good to keep an eye on younger children.
The parking area is a decent size. I’ve seen 6 minivans parked with room to spare. There are also at least 2 large handicap parking spaces.
The bathrooms are a decent size. There is a drinking fountain, a covered area for picnicking and a few picnic tables. If all the picnic tables are taken, it’s a lovely place to lay a blanket down and have a sit down picnic.
