General Getty Park
The Equipment
Getty Park has two separate wooden play structures. The smaller one has ramps, tunnels and a bridge all relatively low to the ground. The larger structure has two slides, monkey bars, rings, a sliding pole and several climbing areas. The park also has two baby swings and a pirate ship. Although the parks boundary is on Georgia Avenue, the tennis court is in between the street and the play area making the busy road seem further away. There is no fence but the park sits on a dead end street and is surrounded by a large field and grassy hills (which can be fun for sledding in winter).
The Scene
This park is busiest in the morning with toddler playgroups and after school for local families. The circular paved path around the play area is great for riding bikes and scooters and the many picnic tables as well as the gazebo provide spaces to sit and eat or take a break from playing. The park is home to a small farmer’s market on Saturday mornings from May through November. Seven parking spaces are available on site with more parking available down the street.
