Read MoreBraewood Park Peoria
Braewood Park in Peoria has a lot of different entrances, but our GPS did not like the most reasonable way to get there! Our GPS took us to Mercer lane. Do not go that way. That gets you to a locked gate, which looks like it would be the park and would lead you…

I love finding parks that we haven’t been to that are close by. And, at the same time, I feel like I missed out on a great opportunity to enjoy this park more! Scotland Yard Park in Peoria is definitely one of those parks people have driven by but haven’t stopped in. Located just a…

It wouldn’t be a full trip to anywhere without checking out a park. We knew that our kiddos wouldn’t just want to go for a hike at Red Rock State Park, but wanted to give the kids a little more run around time and check out a splash pad as well! We got to drive…

Read MoreSchliefer Park-Youngtown
I decided to do a “Youngtown” AZ day lasts week and randomly pick a few parks to try out. The Youngtown website is a bit lacking when it comes to their layout (sorry, it’s a very frustrating site!) so, I told my kiddos that I wasn’t sure what parks had playgrounds, but that we would…

We made a trip to the east side with this park, the Florence Ely Nelson Desert Park. If you are looking for a little trail that is easily navigable for toddlers and strollers, this is a great park for you. While it is still pretty “city” like, it is on a hill away from a…
