Unique Features of Dad Clark Park

I love the focus that was placed on kids of all ages. The younger ones, 2 to 5, have so many places to play, which can be great during times it is crowded. There is a separate duck bouncer, playhouses, sand box area, and smaller slides available.

The older children will have a blast exploring the play structures! There are tall slides, a high tunnel overhead, many ladders and climbing options and a large rope spinner.

My personal favorite feature of Dad Clark Park…the scavenger hunt! These never get old for our family. The panel below shows the different shapes to look for and the second picture shows the small clock emblem hidden near the sand pit. You can keep things exciting by not just finding them, but turning it into a race or obstacle course.
