Marlow Brothers Park

This side of town has 3 parks, 3 full-courts, and 1 beloved game... Basketball? Nope. It's Candy Crush Saga!!! Flappy Bird was a close second but the app developer decided to shoot it down... =)Unlike Verner Hanson and John Erb parks, the rims at Marlow Brothers (a.k.a. Madison Park to many) are of the same size and quality plus the goal posts are very much upright. As a result, the court can get very busy on afternoons when the school kids have done their homework and the worker bees have called it a day. Everybody knows the rule - just call next game if you want to ball. =)The closest beach is probably 65 miles away but this park has a beach volleyball court. It doesn't have a net, so it has become a giant sandbox for all the little ones. Constant reminders of "Don't put the sand in your ear!" would resonate from all over the place.The usual amenities - play structure, benches, tables, covered area, etc. - are available. Although the park lacks a restroom, I gave it 1 more star than the 2 nearby parks because the basketball court is still in good shape. We just need to educate the kids that hanging on to the rim is not cool. Those rims have been broken before and it took some time for the city to fix them. Plus it isn't how high you jump, it's how long you can control yourself in flight. With that, let's ball!!! =)

This park is very close to my nieces house, so we walked up to check it out. This park is very clean. They have 2 different playgrounds one for the older kids and one for the little kids. They have a nice area to site and watch your kids while they play. They have a lot of grass around the playground. The kids can play basketball. I seen some kids riding scooters around the park. The only down side is that they have no bathrooms, so I would recommend go to the bathroom before you go to the park. We will be going back next time we visit.
