5 Things for Families at Hazelwood Park
- Play on the playground. The children's play area has a sand floor and a equipment that begs for timed ninja challenges. Parents can sit so that they can keep an eye on both the playground and the soccer field.
- Walk around the lake. The paved internal trail system is stroller friendly and lined with wildflowers in the summer.
- Have a picnic. There is plenty of green space and a picnic shelter that can hold up to 24 people. (The shelter is reservable, so it may not always be available for impromptu picnics.)
- Bring your soccer ball for some family practice. This park has 6 soccer fields. If there is no game going on, the fields offer plenty of green space to run - with or without a ball.
- Go sledding. Take advantage of the inward-facing slopes for a traffic-free sledding date.
