Today we took a trip to Storey Park.
Located at 205 E. Franklin Road in Meridian.
It's a cute little park with a lot of shade trees, right next to the meridian pool.
The playground is a little older, so it has some bumps and bruises. Overall, it is in good shape with several slides at different heights and swings, including 2 baby swings.
My boys were fascinated with this little built in on the side walls. It's a race track. If you look closely there are 2 shadows of cars and if you crank the handles they will race. There are 2 of these at different levels.
There is a lot of seating. I counted twelve picnic tables scattered around the park, plus this nice covered area with many more.
There are close-by restrooms...
and water fountains.
The playground itself has a great set up and lots for kids to do.
My only concern was how close to busy roads we were.
Here is a picture of Franklin from the playground. There is a nice fence along the street.
However, on the Meridian Road side there is nothing.
Since this is a really busy road, that was a concern for me.
It is right next to the Meridian pool, which makes it an excellent post swim place to have a picnic, but also creates additional traffic at peak times (like when swim lessons got out today.) This side of the park is also open.
Overall, we had a great time at story park. The boys enjoyed the playground and I enjoyed a cool spot at a picnic table in the shade, but there are safety concerns because of the closeness to busy streets and parking areas
We give this park
