Toledo Square

17th & Gonzalez

This is a great modern park with plenty of climbing opportunities. There is also a spring bus that the younger parksters are guaranteed to love. There are two play structures for different age groups. There are panels for teaching emotions and the alphabet. Under one of the play structures is a built in little store. Oak trees give off some shade to parts of the park but also give off leaves and acorns to litter the sand. This park will challenge your child's imagination too. There is a covered picnic table, but not quite enough room for a medium or larger sized party. There are no toddler swings.

Lamancha Square

14th and Cross

This park includes a very large lawn and extensive sidewalks. This sand bottomed park does not include swings. There is a water fountain. The stand alone slide is one of the old-school metal variety therefore it is pretty tall. This park is small but can be used by a variety of ages. There are no picnic tables, but there are several benches.

Wyer Park

on the corner of Belmont and Rues

This Park has 2 awesome play structures. There are also benches and swings. Although the land it is on is small, the park has many things to occupy parksters of all ages. While we were there, we were also treated to a performance by a gentleman who was playing the guitar and singing. Towards the end of our visit, however, we were treated to some really colorful language too. Because of the location, I guess, the benches of this park seem to attract adults. Parking is also a difficulty at this location. There were also no toddler swings.
