Thompson Park

Baby K loved this one, for the mid-size playground that's sort of modernist. There's one of those dance game things, and a lot of slides and climbing stuff. Plus drums and other things to play with. Parking at either end, wish some were closer for old dad. We'll be back.Barely saw the rest of the park, but there is a big activity center and some playing fields.

This is a nice little park in New Albany sequestered between a neighborhood and a country club. They have a decent playground, a couple of air buildings for indoor sports, a nice bathroom facility, and a walking trail that appeared to connect to some other neighborhood trails. The park sign said it closed at dusk, which we didn't realize until we left after dark. It didn't occur to us to leave earlier because all the lights were still on in the shelter and bathroom area, and the bathrooms stayed unlocked! There weren't many other lights but we were just sitting in the shelter since no one else was there. There is a shelter that is reservable--we saw signs on it from previous reservations that weekend, but I'm not sure how much it is. There's little enough city light around that you can actually do some stargazing after dark. All in all this is a great park!

Soccer fields... Enclosed tennis in the winter... and a running walking path.
