What a wonderful little park here in Gordon. I had dropped my wife off at the station as buses had replaced trains. I then had the chance to explore Gordon and the old houses. I knew they were old but I discovered they were built back around 1910. Back to the park. Well maintained, above average toilets and plenty of happy dog walkers. Even a tennis court.

Safe, suitable for young babies who can use the swing. Other climbing ropes are suitable for older kids. Easy street parking for 2 hours or unlimited.

Located right next to Gordon station. 4 tennis courts. The carpet is good but the ball looses bounce and slow down after hitting the deck. It’s kind of slow but very much playable. I didn’t see a drinking water fountain but a tap is located might be for watering the plants. Not sure if it’s drinkable water.

Nice playground. Quite a bit of equipment. Really big rope climbing installation plus a small slide and a few swings. All in really good condition. Toilets are not great but being renovated as of December 2022.

Great playground for a variety of ages. Fully enclosed for safety and lots of child friendly surfaces. It’s right next to the tennis courts and my little guy loves watching after a play on the equipment. Very close to Gordon Station and lots of street parking.
