All About Metzger Park & Playground
The multi-level playground is easily accessible from the parking lot and the various towers and wooden structures make it look like a castle. It has various platforms for climbing on the bridges made out of wood, tires and rubber.
There are multiple swing sets (regular, infant and accessible swings) and even a tire swing. There is also a toddler section that contains infant swings, a little train to “drive,” and slides.
In addition to the playground, the park consists of a large amount of green space filled with a wide variety of trees. There are also over 3 miles of walking trails. We saw a number of people running and biking on the path while we were there.
We ate our lunch at the picnic tables located adjacent to the playground, as there were many to choose from and some were even shaded by some nearby trees. In addition to the picnic tables the park has multiple covered pavilions available for rent.
Tips for Visiting Metzger Park & Playground

We love Metzger Park! There is a whole section for the you get kids with infant swings, a little Train to “drive,” slides etc… It is a little separate from the castle but still within the fence enclosure. I love that there are many places for a parent to sit and see much of the area. Allows Mom to relax!
Shannon,
Thanks for letting me know about the infant swings. I’ll update with the correct info.
I completely agree about your comment about places to sit and relax. I much prefer playgrounds with tables and benches nearby, so much nicer for the parents!
Thanks Again,
Danielle
