Wind your way through The Trails neighborhood off Main and Teel streets to find Old Orchard Park, a bustling hot spot for area families. The playground for children ages 2–5 was completed in 2003 and scores an A*. The structure is well maintained and offers multiple play opportunities with four slides, a lookout window, climbing bars and bouncing horses. This park is a kid metropolis, and with only one set of steps to enter the playscape, things can get a little crowded. The highest level of the playscape is the entrance to the twirl slide, so if your little one gives you that frightened look, redirect them to the lower area where smaller slides await them. A swing set is nearby as well as a basketball court. There’s also a nice pavilion area and plenty of running space away from busy streets so your kids can get their roam on.
