| - I used to visit the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park as a kid in the late 80's. The park has only gotten better. It leaves you with really good, lasting memories:
Hot summer days, Rocket Pops, birthday parties, soft serve frozen yogurt, train rides, climbing on the stagecoach and playing pirates, tossing the football around...this place is synonymous with good times and it won't break the bank either.
History buffs will like the parked train car exhibit at the entrance, which shows how riding trains used to be (people really rode in style).
Twice a year now I visit the train park with my sister and nephew. I think for adults, it can get old. But the kids don't seem to tire of it =) The last time I visited, I saw Tom Chambers with his family. You never know who you'll run into.
The park itself is fantastic. It has everything from a soft rubber padded playground, swings, slides, sand, water features, two sizes of trains that run (both fun to ride), a carousel, stores, food, shade, sun, air, room to move around and mountain views. Everyone comes to this park. Visitors are very diverse and there are musical events in the evenings during certain times of the year.
