We will be exploring all things parks and outdoor recreation for the summer of 2020. If it’s outdoors and free, you can bet it will go on the list for this year. And if we can fit in a park AND a water activity? That’s something that checks all the boxes for us!
We recently visited Home of the Brave Park, located in Symmes Township. This park is a new park for us and an instant favorite, one that’s worth the drive for our family. There’s a water feature, two playground areas, lots of benches, picnic tables, nearby restrooms, and more!
This park has a great layout, especially if you come with more than one child to watch over. The three parts are all adjacent to one another. There’s a big play structure (pictured above), an upper area that has more climbing structures and swings (pictured below), plus a splash pad.
There are multiple benches that allow one to see all three spots. Or bring your own chairs and pick your location!
Home of the Brave Park is a great park for kids, especially those who are school aged. We went with a 5 and 6 year old in tow and it was the perfect place for them. There’s lots to climb on, some challenging spots and some easy climbs.
The slides are big and bold. There are a few ways up – take it easy with traditional stairs or climb your way up.
The park has some fun hiding spots, room to run, and lots to climb on and over. And with a rubberized flooring surface, it would be good spot even after a rain.
Who can pass up a great splash pad? It’s actually the reason we went to this park (this sprayground is open 12-5pm this season / 2020). There are two different spray modes – one is more tame (in picture below) and the second cycles on and includes large arcs and more powerful sprays.
In addition to the playground, the park also has a number of ball fields. There appeared to be a few trails near the playgrounds – we just didn’t explore that part of the park. There is also a Military Memorial Wall at their Veteran’s Memorial Plaza.
