We Took some family photos. The scenery was beautiful. We didnt have a dog but were informed by a family member in advanced, No dogs are allowed as theres a $150 fine for doing so if they write you a ticket. You cant carry them to avoid the penalty. Yet there were many dogs in the area.

We went to take a tour at the mansion. We learned a lot of its history. We had an amazing guided tour. This is a gem in Norwalk.

The kids had a blast. It was quiet when we went. There is a toddler area and then another area for 5 to 12. They also have a splash pad. Not sure if that was open this summer or not but we have used it before and it was fun.

This review is for Devons Place playground. The nautical style playground is pretty large with 4 different zones. There is a smaller tot play structure, swings, excavating tool and ride ons. Another play area with a lighthouse, a boat a whale and little houses. The lighthouse is wheelchair accessible. Then there are bigger swings and a bigger kid play structure in the form of a ship. Next to it there is a small labyrinth area. Finally there is a splash pad area with picnic tables next to it. Have been numerous times and it is never too crowded.

Great park with lots of slides, seesaw, and fun activities for kids to play

Perfect medium sized park! Has playground, tennis courts, grass fields, multiple parking lots, occasional ice cream trucks, etc!

I bring my daughter here all the time great place to bring your kids especially to tired them out. There are 2 types of age groups playground

Its easy to get to off the hgw. Easy off easy on rte 91. Nice grounds.

We always have a great time here. Clean and always kept in good condition. Easy to get in and out of.

Awesome playground!Our family enjoys this playground every couple months. Whether we bring swimsuits or not, this is a family favorite.The splash pad is the best weve found yet, with numerous sculptures spraying water and plenty of space for a group of kids. The playground is also very diverse and offers fun for all ages, as demonstrated by our 2-13 year old kids. Guaranteed fun for all!

It was in one of the nicer residential areas in the heart of the city.

So, we missed the tour but was so intrigued with this mansions structure. I was visiting this area with a colleague, saw this building and had to investigate. We explored the outside of mansion AND could only imagine what the inside looked. Had us curious about its origin, family, etc. Didnt take the tour but I bet would be worth it. Looking forward to my next visit so that I can a tour.

We held our wedding ceremony there. It was a perfect day and the pictures came out so beautiful.

Good place to walk around

Great park along the Norwalk River Valley Trail

My second visit in 30 years!

Love the tennis court

Cute little park. Nice playground to take the kids to burn off some energy. Small pond for swimming or just walking around. Connected sports field. The parking is right on the norwalk river valley trail. When I only have an hour or two, I really like coming here with my son and wife. Its just simple and pleasant.

Great childrens museum. Outdoor play areas as well.

Its a great place to see

The desert is from the Spread in norwalk

Very interesting house. Looking forward to the opening of the basement.

My son had a lot of fun. The splash pad is not to big, but luckily he was the only one there. On a day that there are more kids it will probably be pretty crowded

Nice park with trails.

Lovely park with art sculptures, historic mansion and a great children’s museum.

Great history. You must do the full tour if you like history.

The park is really cool. It has lots of free parking. There is a mansion to tour. There is also a really nice kids play ground, that includes a splash pad. Which is wonderful for the got summer days.The childrens museum is right in there too, which is very fun to visit.Its an easy area to get to and from nice, is clean, and very enjoyable.

Good but go while they are young

Great space for the children to run around and play nice picnic tables. Conveniently placed right off the highway.

Loved the space but the cafe didnt give me thesandwich I ordered until an hour passed

Fathers Day car show was awesome! Beautiful grounds with lots of big shady trees

Took my grandson to the splash pad there he enjoyed it, the park was clean throughout and definitely worth a visit

Amazing history about this place

My 5 year old enjoyed the childrens museum. I remember the mansion from when I was a kid.

Always remember our picnics in this place

Lovely park neatly maintained. Great to walk.

Very pretty. Perfect as a background for pictures. Giant turtles live in a pond. Very nice small playground nearby. Beautiful neighborhood.

A fantastic park for those of all abilities! It has multiple sections- a toddler section, 5-12 yr old section, water section, little houses, swings (with 2 infant swings, 2 typical seat swings, and 2 different types of swings for those who need more support- one with leg support, one without (places for seatbelts, but no belts attached to either) and a big lighthouse to play in. The lighthouse has seen better days and the toddler section has no shade so it was too hot to use with our little one, but the big kid section was actually perfect for him while with us. There is a train that passes loudly, but only came once while we were there. There are many ramps leading to equipment and space for the legs in a wheelchair at each station on the big kid playground. If we are in the area again we will return!

Great place to learn the history of the place very interesting!

Mathews Park is a beautiful clean and quiet Park a beautiful place to go to with your family and relax and Mathews Mansion is gorgeous to

Never been there

Clean park, in the summer they turn on the animal sprinklers. Its a good place for kids, definitely not teenagers lol.

Lots of history lots of shade great for picknick linch

Beautiful park with lots to offer. Looking forward to my next visit!

Loved it and glad that it was saved.

Lots of space to play in and to walk

An above average playground thats great for most kids. Some of the parts are in disrepair, which makes sense given that the park shares a parking lot with the Stepping Stones Childrens Museum. If you stop by the museum, let the kids run around at the playground to burn off the rest of their energy.

This park is lovely. We visit the Stepping Stones Museum for Children regularly which is located in the park as well as great outdoor playground. A must if you have children from 2 to 10. Right off exit from I95.

Stepping Stones museum is great

The tennis courts are lit up till late in the evening.

Very nice park, right in downtown, South Norwalk, CT

Good and clean park, great for children

Very nice place for children and adults

Wonderfull place to enyoing yourself

It was a very nice experience for my babies

I just wish they would have a bathroom. I always have to get back home quick because there is every time one of my kids asking to go potty.

Nice park for toddlers to play. A little worn down but fun nonetheless

Nice clean park .

Playgrounds for kids from 2-5 and 5-12 plus a water pad for kids which makes it great in the summer. 3-4 Tennis courts and a nice walk around the mansion. Could use some attention as to trash pick-up, cleanliness and fixing some games. A shame the beautiful lighthouse was destroyed and not working any more. The closeness to the garbage center bring some unpleasant smell from time to time.

Nice park. will return for a picnic.

Great fun free playground. Some of the equipment is showing a bit of wear and tear (as of Oct 2016), but you cant beat free! Theres a little water splash pad which is open during the summer and plenty of open space around the park for running around. If you go across the street theres also a nice path by the river.

My kids always have fun running around this park after going to Stepping Stones museum.

Attended a wonderful summer art show here. Last year we took a tour through the house .... well worth the time if you are interested in historical homes.

So much fun!

Great little space.

My family goes there all the time. Clean park. Shock absorbent ground. Small water sprinkling structure that my daughter loves to play in.

My Grandkids love to ride there bikes in the summer

One of the best places in CT. However, an open public restroom would make it perfect

Valerie wove a vivid story that brought the mansion to life talking about the history of the home.

Very cool mansion, nice grounds.. Childrens museum next door. Public tennis courts and a kids playground. Right off the highway (95)

St Matthews everyone is friendly

I liked the area and it was a fun place to go to.

Lots to do for all ages

Its a great place to bring the kids either Stepping Stones or a public park is in walking distance

Has childrens museum, play area, tennis court, and ample space for walking. Thats a lot for this size of park. Nice and fun place!

It is a really good place to bring babys girls

Good one for childrens.

Nice park with things to do for the entire family. The tour thru th Lockwood Matthews mansion was well worth it ! The annual art show is free and parking is free !

Nicely well maintained park. There are benches and attractions for kids (playground, museum). There is a tennis court that depending on the time of the day may be busy. during summer, they host festival and town fairs (i.e. art, local shops and products, etc.). Its definitely a nice place to visit for relaxing a couple of hours.

Excellent play area. Water area was refreshing and very cold. Very neat and tidy.

Great water splash park for kids to burn off some steam

This park is amazing, theres even water for children to play in. Best playground Ive ever been too. My son didnt want to leave

Come hear every spring & summer for the open space & tennis courts.

Good place

Its a park, So there is grass and trees. There is also Matthiew Lockwood Mansion on the property and Stepping Stones Museum, and a playground lot adjacent, but those are not factored into my srunning 3-star review of the trees and grass.

Very nice park with green fields to play on, tennis courts and a large playground.

Great for family fun time

I love this park. Nice place with playground.

Nice place

Lots to do at this park. Playground, spray park and tennis court. Easy parking.

Great park for the kids!

Awesome place to take my child and she did not want to leave

Awesome place

Just visited cuz people was gathering here for the eclipse we had nice experience plus it was great to find parking place not charge, kids enjoyed so much

Stepping stone museum for kids..great place

It was just extra fun for the kids. A well put together park with a lot of interactive parts to keep kids busy for HOURS!!

Went here in the summer with my mom and 4 year old. The playground was good, no where really for adults to sit unless in the sun, but the splash pad was great!

Amazing place

Very cool to see the old school craftsmanship and some Norwalk history

Bathrooms locked with vacant sign visable
