I love this little path. It is just right for your beginner cyclist, rollerblader, or skateboarder. Or perfect if you just want to stretch your legs and take a family walk. Not too far, yet not too short where you will be bored. You get a change of scenery when you go through the woods and then if you want to park the bikes by the side of the path and go "off road", take a walk down the dirt path to the observation trail and check out the little brook.


The playground by the school is great too. It is new and modern and huge. They have a big kids and a separate little kids playground. There is a covered area for picnics and plenty of benches for parents to relax on the bench and still keep and eye on your kids from the sidelines.


In the warmer months the hockey rink becomes a skateboard park. Complete with a small half pipe, a few funboxes and a rail. Just right for beginner boarders.


There are restrooms, but you are going to have to take everyone with you. You can't see the kids on the playground from there. It is a bummer that there is no snack stand or coffee shop near by so be sure to pack plenty of your own....more
