This park is great for people of all ages. There is a great playground, a ballfield, and a lovely path that circles the area and also plenty of benches. A really nice, relaxing place.

McClennen is a park for all occasions! The large hill is great for sledding in the winter, the trail around the hill and field is good for walking and running and the views of the creek and ducks is always fun to see! The playground itself is a lot of fun for a wide range of ages and the skate park is good for actually doing tricks, but also it’s great for little kids to climb up the ramps and stairs! The field is a good one as well, sometimes it gets muddy but generally it’s fun to play on.

This park was just ok, somewhat small and needs up keep, there were deep holes in the soft padding and not enough swings. My family made it work though it was a gorgeous day and hubby got into the spirit of the playground!!!

Lovely park. We took a walk all around the field on their clear footpath. My kid was so excited to see the ducks in the water, a little snake and all the beautiful fall leaves. She collected quite a few. Parking is available for free.

This is a big area to enjoy. What a nice spot. I like walking my dogs here. Theres a parking lot and street parking. When you pull into the entrance, youll see a playground, which has swings and a jungle-gym. Its a nice section for the kids to have fun. Next to that is a Skateboarding area, offering mini-slopes and flat area to skate. I usually see kids rollerblading, skateboarding, and riding their bike in there. Between the Playground and Skate Park, both have gates surrounding them. Trashcans, Recycling, and Water Fountains out front. I believe theres still a Porta Potty behind the Skating area. Picnic table next to the Playground. At one side of the park (on the left) theres a Baseball Field. At the other side of the park (on the right) theres a Soccer Field. In the middle, youll notice a big mountain of hay/straw. I dont know what purpose this serves. Im going to assume its for the winter, theres always kids sledding down it. I walked up that hay mountain in the summer and felt powerful. Im kidding. It was an awkward walk up, just walking on hay feels odd. It was a crunchy experience. So, thats that. If you continue to explore the surroundings, theres a walking path leading around the whole park. After you walk past the playground and picnic table, follow the path which leads you into the mini forest. I was skeptical about entering and following the trail. Its a safe area, but not knowing where it lead was kind of eerie, onwards we go! I brought my dogs one day with me. We took the walking trail and it was nice to explore. Theres a ton of trees and greenery for your pup to sniff. Further in theres a bench you can sit on. If youre sitting on it, looking straight, youll see another trail. That will lead you onto a side street. Youd have to walk a block or two to get back to the entrance of the park. If you disregard this and just continue to walk the trail, thats where youll see a little pond area. Its nice to see the ducks and birds if any are out. The whole walking path is a circle, leading you to the baseball field and back to the front of the park. Overall, I would suggest checking it out one day.-----Update as of July 4,No hay mountain. All greenery.

Good park for little ones- theres a toddler playground and big kid playground, that are fenced in (on parking lot side). A path goes around the sports field and hill (great for sledding).

Great park. The only things Id like to see added would be more trees in the center of the park for shade and a water play area would be fantastic.
