Kiwanis Tot Lot #3

This park is walking distance from our home and we visit it on the regular.

Here is the link to it's website: Kiwanis Tot Lot #3

It's on Scenic Hill between Chicago and Seattle Street.

Things we love about this park:
- 2 swings (one toddler swing and one big kid swing) to accommodate both kiddos
-  awesome play structure with:
  • 2 small slides that the toddler loves
  • one big twirly slide that both kids love
  • a suspension bridge to walk across
  • at least 3 methods of climbing up
  • 2 parallel bars that form a slide for brave big kids
  • an Indiana Jones type sliding bar, perfect for pretending you are careening over a pit of snakes
  • ground covered with wood chips making for a soft landing when jumping off the structure.
  • an animal puzzle that the kids can spin around
  • a steering wheel where my toddler likes to pretend she is at Starbucks. She offers me a Venti Iced Mocha every time. That girl knows me too well.
- 2 picnic tables and a bbq grill
- a few neat old trees with holes in them that look like gnomes could live there
- a path that spans the entire length of the park between Chicago Street and Seattle Street. This makes for a nice cut through on a bike.
- Always well stocked doggy clean up bags. These are well used by the park patrons. We have never seen a dog mess in the park.
- A grassy area for running around/relaxing on.
- Lots of shaded spots for warm days.
- Enough parking on Chicago for 6 cars.


Keep in mind that there is no restroom at this park.

This is a great little neighborhood park. It is situated on a lot in a residential area and you wouldn't necessarily know about it unless you live close by. It's quiet, we are usually the only ones there.
