Clawthorpe Park

Nothing special but it does the trick. Standard playground features...

I visited the park today and here are my thoughts:
Pro:
-The play structure has a good variety of things to play on, as well as some swings, tree stumps to climb along and a sand box with donated toys. A big plus if you don't always remember to bring your own toys.
-It is mostly fenced off with a gate aside from the side on sleepy Clawthrope Ave.
Con:
-No parking close by. We walked with a stroller, but another mom came in a car and could only find residential parking. She ended up parking down at Hillside Mall.
-No bathroom nearby, which is important if you have a preschooler or younger children potty training. The closest is Hillside Mall or Cedar Hill Rec Centre.
-Potentially noisy. The park sits right next to North Dairy Rd, so over time the traffic could get annoying.

Always great when there is a sand box with toys next to a playground.

There is awesome sand box, and always some sand toys are there for anybody to use. Kids just love going there!

Love this park. It is ultra close to Hillside Mall. It has a water fountain, a sand box and toddler size games. I would recommend to any parent. The downside is parking spots. Sometimes is easier to park in Hillside and walk.
