You know when you make a great discovery right in your own backyard and can't believe you've never been there before and you can't wait to tell your friends all about it? Yeah. Whalley Park in Southwick. You gotta visit.
Whalley Park has a perfect playground! There are separate playscapes for big kids and little kids and LOTS of swings. Hooray! The best part -- the entire playground is fenced in so you don't have to worry about little ones escaping. It's actually relaxing to hang out on the benches and watch the kids play. There's no worry about traffic or anyone wandering off. And while the playground is large it's very open so it's easy to keep an eye on more than one kid at a time.
The park also offers lots of beautifully paved walking paths perfect for bikes, trikes, scooters and strollers. If you have big kids, you can even get some laps in while you keep one eye on the playground. There are new, clean bathrooms on site and a huge pavilion with lots of seating for picnics (if not under reservation). Dogs are welcome on leash. There is plenty of free parking on site. Whalley Park is free and open to the public seven days a week during daylight hours.
Whalley Park is located at 42 Powdermill Road in Southwick -- right next to the Southwick Motocross site. Just look for the giant Whalley Park stone sign. You can't miss it.
See you at the park! #getoutside #getoutsideandplay #childhoodunplugged
