Website: https://www.town-and-country.org/143/Drace-Park

Playground ground cover: Astroturf

Drace Park replaced the playground in 2023. The new playground is more natural and I love the astroturf flooring. 

The old playground

There is a large parking lot with plenty of parking and a restroom building right at the entrance. It looks like they are building a pavilion but it's not complete yet. 

There is a saucer netted swing, a baby swing, an ADA swing, and 2 sling swings.

This wooden tower has climbing grips, a metal slide, and 3 hammocks underneath. 

These log cabins are great in family photos

In 2016 they added a nature play area. The playground is cool, but this area in the woods is super cool and not found at many other parks around here. My kids loved playing with the natural materials in the shaded woods!

 Xylophone in the Music and Movement area-  but over the years the mallets have disappeared.

The blocks have disappeared as well.

 We miss these scarf hammocks

Amenities: picnic shelter, playground, sand volleyball, tennis courts, paved and wood chip trails, restroom, athletic fields

Website: http://www.town-and-country.org/141/Parks-Recreation

Playground ground cover: Poured Rubber

Preservation Park is right off highway 64/40, which means you hear traffic sounds, so it isn't as peaceful as some parks, but it does offer a nice playground with slides/climbing structures for both toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children, as well as 4 sling swings and 2 baby swings. There's a sand volleyball court right next to the playground (which doubles as a sandbox, at least for my toddler). A picnic shelter and restrooms are adjacent to the playground. The park also has tennis courts, a paved trail which goes around the CBC High School fields and a wood chip trail thru the woods.

The smaller play structure has steering wheels, tic tac toe board, ABC board, slides, and various bars and poles.

The covered pavilion had 6 tables inside and has a grill as well.

This playground is older but it's in great condition. It's clean and not very busy and has restrooms and a pavilion right off the playground. This is a good playground for all ages to enjoy.
