The Top 6 Parks in Eastern Montgomery County and Warminster, PA!

I love Fall, and I try to get my kids outdoors every chance I get! Eastern Montgomery County and Bucks County are lucky to have so many great parks and playgrounds for kids. With the excess of screen time many of our kids are experiencing this season, I wanted to share some of our personal favorite parks and playgrounds, as well as some that were recommended  by others. My kids have swung, spun, and raced through many of them ... and definitely have their favorites! 

Here’s a list of our family’s top six favorite parks and playgrounds in Eastern Montco and Warminster, and the reasons we love them:

Everybody’s Playground (located in Lukens Park) 540 Dresher Rd Horsham, PA  Website Everybody loves Everybody's Playground! Located in Lukens Park (hint: typing Everybody's Playground in your GPS may not get you there!), Everybody's Playground features a fully handicapped-accessible play structure that is also wonderful for younger children who are less sure-footed. In addition to the beloved playground, Lukens Park also featires walking trails, a pavilion, restrooms, three adult softball fields, one basketball court (with rims that are movable for wheelchair basketball), and a total of 5.9 acres of PECO property where children can run and play. In our experience it can get a bit crowded in the early evening, so I recommend going during the day.

Warminster Community Park 300 Veterans Way Warminster, PA Website
Warminster Community Park is the largest park in Warminster Township with over 240 acres. It features over five miles of walking trails, a picnic area, a pond, a playground with nearby pavillion, Safety Town, and a Bark Park. Our kids love riding scooters around Safety Town under daddy's supervision while mommy runs on the trails. Click here for information on the Bark Park.

		Mason’s Mill Park 3500 Masons Mill Rd Huntingdon Valley, PA Website
		Mason's Mill Park was recently recommended to our family, and we're excited to check it out! Its 76 acres boast lighted volleyball and basketball courts, 5 lighted tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, 2 softball fields (1 lighted), lighted baseball field w/ overlapping lighted football field, 3 picnic pavilions, Safety Town big-wheel riding complex, 3 modular play equipment units, spring animals, climbers, dinosaur climbers, a water spray pole, drinking fountains, fitness trail w/ 18 stations (.72 mi.), restrooms, Woody’s Fishin’ Hole pond with fountain, archery range, 2 Bocce courts, picnic tables and picnic grove, concert gazebo, charcoal grills, pergola, benches, bulletin boards, and a 30-acre Hobensac Nature walking area. How did we not know about this place before?! Stay tuned, as we will be checking this one out in the very near future!

		Kohler Park 1013 Horsham Road Horsham, PA Website
		Although it's easy for parks in Horsham Township get lost in the shadow of Lukens Park and Everybody's Playground, Kohler Park is definitely worth checking out! It offers a fishing pond with two aerators, picnic tables, barbecue grills and one pavilion, two horseshoe pits, a playground, walking trails, a lighted in-line street hockey court, restrooms, a gazebo, and a Dog Park.

Northampton Municipal Park 281 Hatboro Rd.  Churchville, PA Website
Located just across the street from Warminster Community Park, this 89-acre park offers both active and passive recreation.  The Municipal Park is the home of the Miracle League fields; a baseball and multipurpose field designed specifically to enable individuals with special needs the opportunity to play sports.  The park also features a large playground, softball fields, soccer fields, basketball courts, a roller hockey rink, trails, picnic pavilions and an amphitheater. The amphitheater serves as the venue for the Parks and Recreation Sights and Sounds of Summer Series.  A Butterfly Garden of Remembrance, designed as a place of reflection for individuals to come and remember their loved ones who have passed on, has become a treasured feature of the park.

Parkside Place Complex 1 Parkside Pl. North Wales, PA Website
Parkside Place Complex is another park that my family is excited to explore! With 5 tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, 2 basketball courts, a pool complex, exercise course, woodlands trail, pavilion, gazebo, amphitheater, and bike and walking trails. The trails at the Parkside Place complex cover one mile and are comprised of two trails - the Woodlands Trail and the Parkside Trail. The Parkside trail is 1/2 mile long and travels along the front quadrant of the complex by the pavilion, basketball courts and tennis courts. The Woodlands Trail, also 1/2 mile, is located in the rear of the complex and winds through a peaceful natural area highlighted by the sensory garden. Click here for the Green Ribbon Trail Map
