Jordan's Favorite Parks

Date: Aug 20, 2011

Here is a working list of all the various parks Jordan and I visit that are close enough to run to:

Parkside Park

Jordan and Eloise liked going to this park in their younger days. It is near the pool, has a steep hill for rolling down, and has beautiful tall trees alongside it. Unfortunately with no swings, unless Eloise is going, Jordan typically will pass on this park.
Distance:0.3 mi. Size: Small Swings:no

Cambria Park

This is our favorite! This park had shade, swings, a small soccer field, a path through the woods, and best of all, easy access to the train tracks.
Distance:0.7 mi. Size: Medium Swings:yes

Wells Park

This nice fully shaded park has swings and easy access to the train tracks as well. Distance:0.7 mi. Size:Medium Swings:yes

Distance:0.9 mi. Size: Medium Swings:yes

The "Bus" Park
