Review:

In the Malvern Hills community, you'll find a peaceful spot to enjoy some time outside.  

There are paved walking trails that are perfect for pushing little ones in a stroller. There is a nice basketball and tennis court with benches to sit and rest as well.  





Next to the playground is a covered picnic pavilion and grills. It would be the perfect spot for a picnic lunch.  





There is a sand pit for kids to explore with ample bench seating for parents/caregivers to sit and watch.  





While the playground itself isn't super big, I liked that no matter where I stood, I could easily keep close watch on my kids while they played. There were very unique "squiggly monkey bars" that were a bit hit along with the curvy slide.  





There are swings for kids of all ages to enjoy.  

 




You'll even find a little picnic table for pretend play or a fun spot to eat your actual lunch.   





The whole family can even enjoy walking laps on the paved trails which includes a neat wooden bridge over a small creek. There are even doggy waste stations if you wanted to bring your furry friends along as well.
