Erfurt Park,

"Erfurt has a great little splash pad that has a shaded deck built underneath a tree. There is a little slide built into a hill nearby. For older kids there is a great rope climbing course and natural climbing area with rocks and tree stumps. There are two shelter with a beautiful lawn perfect for family games."

"Beautiful park. The walking paths are paved. The main shelter has electric outlets and bathrooms. The lawn/grass was well maintained. Big open lawn for activities, play area, and splash pad."

"Nice park with lake pond in front. Large covered shelter house with beautiful fireplace and picnic tables. Fountains in lake. Walking trails. Playground with swings, sand, slide, jungle gym."

"Beautiful open park to have a family of group gathering. You can rent the shelter and have food catered. They have plenty of picnic table seating. The playground has a tall climbing structure, swings, a slide, a natural climbing area with tree stumps etc, and a splash pad. Most of the climbing areas are in the sun but there is a shaded shelter with picnic tables near by that I was able to sit and feed my infant while still seeing the entire play area. Fun for toddlers to school aged kids."

"I didn't know this park existed until a few days ago but it's a new favorite! The European design is great, especially the nature play area. That type of playground has been shown to increase creative and cooperative play with kids, as well as actually being safer. I hope more new parks are done this way! Other amenities include a water feature (fancy drainage pond lol), walking paths, shelters, benches, bathrooms and water fountains, waste bags and water fountain for dogs. Most of the walking and play areas are not shaded yet, so for now it's probably not the best hot weather park."
