About Captain Stephen Olney Memorial Park

Recreational Facilities

This park has a playground that's great for kids. With two play structures featuring slides and climbing elements, little ones have plenty to explore. The large playground area sits on artificial turf and is safely fenced in - ideal for parents who need a moment to breathe while keeping an eye on their adventurers. You can find all the playground classics here: monkey bars, a zip line (always a hit!), a tire swing, baby swings, and regular swings. There's even a special section designed just for toddlers ages 2-4, with gentle bridges and slides that won't intimidate the smallest visitors.

Active types will appreciate the well-maintained tennis courts that double as pickleball courts - a practical dual-purpose design. The basketball courts and baseball fields round out the athletic options and are popular with the locals.

Trails and Relaxation

A smooth, paved walking trail winds through the park, excellent for everything from casual strolls to morning jogs. The path conveniently circles the playground area, so you can get your steps in while the kids play - multitasking at its finest!

Not feeling particularly energetic? No problem. Picnic tables are scattered across the grounds, and there are plenty of grassy spots well-suited for a blanket and a good book. It's an ideal setting for impromptu picnics or planned gatherings. There's also a small gazebo that offers welcome shade on sunny days.

Park Features

The open grassy areas have multiple purposes - they're good for casual frisbee games, walking your four-legged friend (on leash, please), or simply soaking up some sun. When winter brings snow, those gentle hills make nice natural sledding spots.

The park is notably clean and well-maintained. The rolling landscape offers nice seasonal views, and there's a friendly atmosphere throughout.

Visitor Information

You'll discover parking lots that make access convenient, but be aware that the entrance and exit roads run a bit narrow. When nature calls, there's a porta-potty available - not glamorous, but it gets the job done.

Captain Stephen Olney Memorial Park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 8PM.
