This is the best place for kids even in winter
Plenty of fun equipment for kids to play on and covered picnic tables in the area just across the path. One of the many reasons to visit Wheaton Regional Park
We like this park! Large playground for varied ages, (spread out though, so a little difficult if coming with, say, a 1 and 3 year old by yourself. You'd have to take turns playing at the big slides and the tot lot). Small sandpit that is usually crowded during pre-nap hours. Also a little tricky to navigate the park with a stroller, (it's multiple levels). Unique features include a large, rubber hill that kids love to climb, extra-extra long slides, a giant climbing web for older kids, and of course the train and carousel, when they are running.
Also worth noting are the trails that lead off from the park right by the sandpit. You can take paved paths all the way to Brookside Gardens or natural surface trails to the lake and through the woods. Wonderful outdoor adventure for the whole family. We enjoyed seeing tadpoles, several deer, trout, caterpillars, and raccoon or opossum tracks in the sand. What an adventure for a couple four year olds! A large jogging stroller navigated the trails just fine.
Warm sunny day. Not crowded at all. 2.50$ cost to ride the train or carousel. That was no wait when we went. The play ground was spacious. Bathrooms clean.
I had the most fun at this park. My cousin had her birthday party here and it was nice. The place has multiple spots that can be used for different occasions. The play ground was also cool. One downside (which I think is really a reach) is that I hope to see charging stations.
