For the grown-ups, there are outdoor fitness stations scattered around the park. You can actually get in a decent workout while your kids play nearby - multitasking at its finest!

Comfort Features

Armstrong Park nicely balances active and quiet recreation. The picnic areas with tables are well-suited for enjoying lunch outdoors or simply sitting with a book on a nice day.

You'll also find benches placed thoughtfully within the grounds, offering spots to rest or just watch the world go by. One thing that stands out is how clean and well-maintained everything is - definitely adds to the experience.

Fresh Updates

As of November 2023, the park received some nice updates through a Bond Project. These improvements have given the whole place a refresh, making it an even more enjoyable spot for the community.
