Silvermont Park & Mansion

If you like history, you should definitely check out Silvermont. It's amazing how they are utilizing this historic mansion. You can take a tour of the preserved second floor. Please note, the tours are at select times on certain days. lol. We totally lucked out. The bottom has been converted to a senior center. What an amazing place for them to gather. There is a very short 1/2 mile paved path around the property. It was a very nice walk. I'm glad we had the opportunity to check this place out.

Dog bags? Check. Interesting swings, including a wheelchair one? Check. Free and well-used tennis courts? Check, but maybe not for long. Clean restrooms, too. This treat of a place is a great resource for the city and visitors. The interior needs love, and currently looks like a turf war is going on.

I stumbled on this park today and had a few minutes to explore. They have a short trail which winds around the mansion and a shade garden. The mansion is very pretty. There's a basketball court, tennis courts, some swings on the back side of the mansion and a jungle gym for the kids.
