Lochwood Park

Good park with nearby benches, basketball, tennis, trails and playground. Playground is great but slide is very tall and not very deep, easy to fall over if not careful. There is also a smaller, much older playground on the other side of the park.

There's a very dangerous drop off at the top of the tall slide/obstacle course where a child could fall to their death if they land on their head. The open area at the top is designed for older children to reach out & grab the pole & slide down the pole, but if a small child isn't able to reach the pole, they could easily fall several feet! It looks to be about 10 feet high. I called 311 on 11/13/19 and reported it. They called me back 11/19/19 and said the Parks & Recreation Department will contact me soon.

Fun spot to get a little outdoor scenery in the middle of the city My son and the puppies love to hike down the trails n the creek

The park is pretty small & doesn't have any shade (they are building a shade structure this summer) but we love doing the trail that leads to the creek! I suggest wearing good hiking/water shoes like chacos or tevas if you are going to explore the creek. I wish they had restrooms - that's always a bit tricky with little ones.

I like this park I just wish they had better shade coverage over the playground area and a bathroom.
