7 Ideas for family fun at Bryant Park
- Run, Climb Slide. Bryant Park’s expansive playground is inclusive and accessible. Kids (and adults who play) will get a good workout.
- Skate. Bring your skates or boards to Bryant Skate Spot. This skate park is built for beginners.
- Play Ball. Get a game of kickball, baseball, cricket or softball going.
- Shoot hoops. The basketball court was newly surfaced in 2025.
- Volley a tennis ball. The tennis court was also resurfaced with the basketball court and installation of the playground.
- Ice Skate. Take a turn around the ice rink in the winter months.
- Walk. The paved paths are stroller and scooter friendly and wind through the park’s beautifully restored wetlands. The path around the two ponds takes approximately 30 minutes to walk. For more adventurous hikers, there are stepping stones across the little stream connecting the two ponds.
Updates to Bryant Park
As part of updates finished in 2025, Bryant Park features a fully inclusive playground, an updated shelter building, a skatepark, baseball field, hockey rink, cricket pitch, new tennis and basketball courts. The updates also included creating more sustainable natural resource areas.
