Parkside Neighborhood Park

Athletic field with play areas, a big multipurpose field and a teen center.

Spinners, climbers and a small zipline, with the train tracks close by. Train-obsessed kids get a bonus when one rolls past.

Pancakes and waffles big enough to split. A solid breakfast before a day out.

A miniature steam or diesel train your kid actually rides, looping through the park.

Local history and natural history under one roof, best with a curious kid who likes asking what things are.

Recreation center with a tot lot, a playground, a skate park, a walking trail and a picnic area.
