Liberty Park and Saftey Town

LIBERTY PARK (part of Elmwood Park)

COST: Free

HOURS: Normal city park hours

How do I get there?
This is the address to the library. If you turn into the library parking lot and go to the far side of the library, you will see a road that keeps going back to your right. Turn there and you will see the houses and park.

OUR TAKE?
What an amazing hidden gem! This is such a great place! There really is play equipment for all ages...something for the young tots, and the old school age kids, and everyone in between. Tons to do and see. I love that there were so many places to sit and watch the kids, and a beautiful gazebo in the middle of the park for shade. There is a rock climbing wall, lots of swings, dinosaurs, etc.

There is also an ADORABLE little safety town lined with little houses. Town includes a working stop light and crosswalk signs, as well as real road signs to help teach children. I can't wait to go back and take their bikes so they can go on a ride through the town.

This park is GREAT for another reason...real, nice, indoor plumbing. Having young kids it is SO nice to have "facilities" available and accessible...that don't stink terribly. Everything was clean and nice and included drinking fountains inside and outside the building. I gave that part of the park 2 thumbs up!

Overall an AWESOME place to play!
