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 larger playstructure has slides, a tic tac toe board, steering wheels, 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.

Playground ground cover: Poured Rubber

At 13.5 acres in size, this park is home to the Brentwood Days festival each September and contains a beautifully maintained baseball field, two softball fields, youth soccer field, playground, restrooms, and a pavilion. This playground was replaced in Spring 2019 and it's a huge improvement over what was here.

There is a fence along the wall closest to the parking lot but the entire playground is not fenced in. 

Climbing boulders and log balance beams. 

Pirate ship! 

This area of Brentwood is pretty industrial.

I'm glad they installed some shade for the parents. 

The whale is really cool and fun to climb.

This map shows the restroom building circled in red on the right. The playground is circled in red on the left, so you can see it's a bit of a hike. I'm not sure if the restrooms are open year round either. I didn't see a pavilion so I think it's over by the restrooms.
