Walsh (John) Park

There are also benches around the kids side of the park. There is also a parallel bar near the Ashland entrance/exit. Would have given it a 5-star rating if there was a restroom."

"Walsh Park is one of those outdoor spaces that has something for kids of all ages- it’s so good to have a well designed and maintained park at the head of the 606 trail. There is a fenced off dog park next to the elaborate playground that has climbing and repelling opportunity for the young adventurers; swings, and a stunning and dynamic slide and ladder structure - tree house hybrid that’s just the most fun experience for kids to have out here. Highly recommend this place"
