Old Plank Road Trail - Washington Street Access
Hiking area
👍👍 Love!! My favorite trail to walk. Can walk as long as you want and it is very nicely shaded for the majority of the trail. Only downside is that it has only one bathroom, that I've seen, at the Washington Street access.

Paul E. Briese Park
City park
👍👍 My kids favorite playground in the area. Has a huge tower slide and a smaller playground for littler kids. Almost every time we come there are tons of other kids. There is also a walking path and large open field area. My only complaint is limited parking.

Rock Run Rookery
Park
👍👍 Really pretty walking trail. It's not a very long trail. We spent about 2 hours here (January, some snow on the ground but sunny), most of the path was paved. From a walking/hiking standpoint, this is probably not a full day destination. Definitely worth a visit!
