PH- Congress Park

Playground Hopping

  Small and quiet makes for the perfect little playground. On the corner of 8th and York you'll find Congress park nestled behind trees and fields. The play area is sand and although the climber isn't very big it still has a few things for a little one (bouncy bridge, steering wheel, curvy slide for two). There are also bouncy things to ride, but since they have added sand recently a little one can safely stand and shake it easily so that you don't have to hold them sitting on it. 

  Beginning in early June the swimming pool at Congress Park is scheduled to open. Other than at Kennedy Park in Lewiston, Maine (oh, my!) I haven't seen a community pool. We will definitely be checking it out especially since there is a small, shallow pool too.

  I would recommend this park for any day. It is easy to walk to, there is a large playground with swings and a large sand area to play in, there are numerous picnic tables and several large fields. I will fill you in once we visit the pool this summer!
