Golden Gate Park in Brookville Ohio

I feel like my last post was too wordy and too small with pictures jumbling around. This will be a work in progress for a few weeks anyway.

Today we went to Golden Gate Park, Upper Lewisburg Salem Road, Brookville, OH 45309. The link will take you to the parks page for Brookville. First time I've been to this park and it's nice! Also a few fast food restaurants nearby for a quick lunch after.

Cost: Free

Safety/Cleanliness: Very good

Best Age groups: ALL AGES

Play Structures: Total of 3. The castle, and two others set up for preschool and up that are back around the ball fields.

Shelters: I think there are indoor AND outdoor shelter

Other: Very nice fountain feature in the pond, no fence though.
A BMX track! Not sure how to get there since I couldn't drive to it from inside the park. Click the park link to find out more info.

Splashpad: No

Bathrooms: Not quickly accesible. There are bathrooms, but it's a bit of a walk.

Water fountain: Next to the bathrooms

Handicap Accesible: For wheelchairs the play areas have no access to the "castle". The other two are in an open area. At the "castle" there is a handi- access swing.

On the whole its a great park. There isn't a lot of shade around the "Castle" (nor did there appear to be at the other two in the ball fields) , but if you bring your own water and sunscreen it's lots of fun. There are divisions on this gigantic playplace for toddlers and older kids. Lots of swings far back from the action *so no face kicks* There is only one entrance to the "castle" so make sure you park next to it and not down the hill from it like I did.

Here's a map of the whole place. I am marking the playgrounds in red, the bathroom with an umbrella, and where you want to park for the castle with the sun. You will notice to the left of the castle there is a little flower icon. There is a climber and an old school metal truck that the kids can climb on there as well.

I'm not a photographer. I only play one on facebook. Here are some snapshots of the castle, and the football/t-ball playgrounds. The last two are far away because you park and walk. I already had my guy in the car and wasn't getting out again. lol
