Joey's Park
Park
ππ Always looking for new parks and this place was HUGE and has an awesome variety of climbing structures, slides and obstacles. It's built with trex, not wood, so no splinters! Great for both small toddlers (they have a smaller play structure) and bigger kids. Also plenty of benches and picnic tables...

Mass Audubon's Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary
Nature preserve
π A nice nature habitat right outside of Boston. The trails were easy to walk, especially if you have toddlers or babies. The trails were well marked and easy to follow, not much in the way of birds in mid February, but the kids and I saw three deer on the property. The goats were in the barn till spr...

Beaver Brook - Spray Deck & Playground
Park
ππ Great playground and splash pad. Busy! But there is ample seating and tables. Restrooms are close, clean and also plentiful. Trash cans are on site. Only downfall is that the parking lot is a decent walk if you can't find a limited street spot. I suggest bringing a stroller or wagon with younger kid...

Platte Mound M
Historical landmark
ππ My daughter and I climbed 290 steps to get to the summit. It was a good exercise and the view is incredible. It reminded me of the time when I took both of my kids when they were much younger - about 11 years go. It's good activity for families as well and I would highly recommend it.

Hidden Canyon Park
Park
π I hiked this trail before and wondered how a mountain bike ride on this trail would be. Well, I found out by trying it and boy was it challenging. I'm a beginner rider and this trail was by far the most challenging but I did learn alot from this trail. Tough inclines (3 *itches) and tough downhills...

Park
π It is a small and cute park. If you have younger kids this is a good place to have them play. If you like to run or walk small places, this is a nice park, they have a small track that surrounds the play area and parking lot. The dock that leads out into the river is a nice place to fish, set out on...

Alexander Park
Park
π Small quaint park in Belmont. One can easily miss the entrance to this park which resembles a residential driveway. There is no parking inside the park; must park on the neighborhood streets and walk into it. But, once in, there is a children's playground followed by 2 Tennis courts with a hittin...

Hallmark Park
Park
ππ Really nice, large piece of land that's excellent for walking and running. Please note, you cannot bicycle or bring your dog here. There are porter-potties and a water station. They've got good wildlife as well. My wife and I saw deer and jackrabbits. Also, be careful of the rattle snakes.

O'Donnell Park
Park
ππ One of the most beautiful and interactive playgrounds Iβve been to in all my trips to SF. The kids had a blast! Gated play area for small kids is perfect. Barbecue area is right in the middle of two playgrounds so kids are always in sight of parents. My personal favorite was the lending library and...

First Capitol Historic Site
Historical place museum
ππ This is a wonderful spot to come learn about the history of the capitol of the Wisconsin territory. I'm delighted that efforts were made early on and carefully stewarded by the DNR and the Wisconsin Historical Society.
I didn't write down the name of my tour guide, sadly. He was awesome! He grew up...

ππ This is one of the best basketball courts to play at in the area. The best ball players and talent come here. The courts are immaculate as well. Breakaway rims, fiberglass backboards and the court has paid homage to Tied Park by painting their mascot at halfcourt. Neighborhood legends such as Be Nim...

Belmont Mound State Park
State park
π As of October 2021, the observation tower is being torn down. The park is pretty and has a couple trails, but the main attraction isn't available, so there's not much of a reason to visit
