About the Location

A Quiet Escape

Found in a residential area, Clothier Park is that breath of fresh air we all need sometimes. This local retreat strikes an ideal balance between recreational space and peaceful retreat - somewhere you can bring the family or just enjoy some solo time outdoors.

The park sits nestled within a calm neighborhood setting, creating one of those rare spaces that actually feels like it belongs to the community. While not enormous, its thoughtful layout makes good use of the space, offering enough room to breathe while still feeling cozy and inviting.

Get Moving

If you're looking to stretch your legs, a 0.3-mile walking trail loops around the entire park. What's nice is the flat terrain - zero elevation gain means it's accessible for pretty much everyone, whether you're pushing a stroller or just not in the mood for hills today.

One of the newer additions that's worth checking out is the workout equipment area. It's positioned across from the picnic tables near the playground, making it easy for parents to get in some exercise while keeping an eye on the kids. Nothing fancy, but definitely functional for a quick outdoor workout session.

Play and Recreation

The modern playground area is a highlight for families with children. With metal and plastic equipment set on wood chips, it includes all the classics - swings, monkey bars, slides, and climbing structures. It's best suited for kids 5 and older, but younger ones can enjoy it with supervision.

Need more space to run around? The multi-purpose field works well for impromptu soccer games, frisbee, or just letting the kids burn off some energy. There's also a half basketball court right next to the playground - fantastic for shooting some hoops or playing a casual pickup game.

The Basics

When lunchtime rolls around, you can find several picnic tables scattered across the grounds. Most are positioned in the area between the playground and exercise equipment, making it easy to supervise play while enjoying a sandwich or snack.

As for restrooms, be aware that the park offers portable toilets rather than permanent facilities - something to keep in mind if you're planning an extended visit.

Whether you're looking for a place to exercise, let the kids play, or simply sit on a bench and enjoy some fresh air, Clothier Park offers a small-community feel in a pleasant neighborhood setting.
