The best thing about the playgrounds at Reid Park is that they are just the tip of the iceberg. There are celebrations in the many rentable armadas; the manmade lake teems with ducks and geese; the dog park provides space for four-legged family members to let loose; and there are wide open spaces to enjoy. A new path around the park's periphery provides a safe place for biking, rollerblading, walking/running, etc. The park's central location makes Reid Park a convenient place for relaxation, fun and physical activity for kids and adults alike.
