Winding Creek Park

As a mom of little ones there is always the quest to find a great park to appease all parties. Winding Creek Park is one of the best out there for young, really young and some middle aged parents. ;)
For the wee ones the park boasts two baby swings, a smaller playset that crawlers can navigate with help, a calm sounding babbling creek, lots of clean, fluffy grass to spread a blanket on and gaze at the clouds and a path that is stroller friendly.
For the elementary set there is a bigger play area with lots of spinning things (you literally, sit, stand or hang off these contraptions and spin at high speed. $ 50 you will take turns with your kid!), swings, a super tall slide and lots of things to climb, swing, jump, hang, slide on. The park has two baseball diamonds and the creek is pretty enough to peak creative play and maybe get a little muddy.
For the adults there are plenty of benches, a picnic table under shelter, a private parking lot, no sand AND a potty! A Port-​o-​potty of course but in a pinch it works.
One worthy note is that WCP is on the Park Districts short list of parks to rent. They put quite a chunk of change into it with the added bike path, brick paved parking lot and covered picnic area. That fact alone makes it one of the area’s best parks!
WCP was renovated with the new playsets a few years back and has quickly become a favorite meeting spot for playgroups from the area and from other suburbs (mom’s network at play for that). So pack a picnic, bring some balls and enjoy one of the best parks out there!
