Corry Park

120 Manchester St (off of Navy Blvd)

This is a quaint neighborhood park that is hopefully on the list for renovating. The park will at least teach a new vocabulary to you children. Oh wait, that is a bad thing too. I literally found shards of glass in the sand around the toddler swings. There were some freshly planted trees so I know somebody knows this park exists and thinks it is worth improving..

Allen Park

Seabrook & Calloway (off of Navy Blvd)

It was obvious that this park was in the process of improvement. When we visited, the wood shavings were new as was the play structure. This park has a large field and basketball courts benches, and swings including those for toddlers. The water fountain included a pet watering bowl. The track around the park was incomplete at the time of our visit, but we will have to check back after the renovations are complete. There are some old-school climbers and monkey bars as well as a nifty new spinner that I even had to try.

Dunwoody Park

McClellan Rd & Baisden Rd (off Bayou Blvd)

Not to far from Pintado Park, Dunwoody Park sits in a quiet neighborhood. This surprising find was filled with fun for the boys. The super tall triple slide took up most of our time while the spring animals were a good source of amusement too. This park had a good mixture of shade and also sun. While we were there, children's soccer teams were holding practice and the atmosphere was very friendly. The lengthy walking track encompasses the park. There are also swings, including those for toddlers, and a basketball court. Picnicking is possible at this park. Parking is curbside.

Pintado Park

Morningside & Hallmark (Bayou Blvd)

This park includes a play structure, swings, a dinosaur to climb on, a walking track, baseball diamond, water fountain, and benches. This is a sand playground so it comes with the added bonus of a beach in your floorboard. The dinosaur was something new and unexpected. Climbing places are abundant in this park. The swings include those for toddlers. The grounds are extensive and include a surrounding walking track.
