Playacres Park — Attraction in Fairmount

Although this great small town park hosts a plethora of activities each year, my family & I have gathered 14+ years to celebrate the fourth of July 🎇🎆 .... Rain or shine, you can find us playing with our children on one of two playgrounds located within the same park!! 😊 We round up our little ones after some lengthy playtime, and walk just few hundred yards to visit the food trucks, malt ice cream trailer, and lastly grab some glow sticks/light up toys for the firework celebration kicking off @ dusk each year! 💜

It's basically the center of...

I think that this is an excellent place to take your children and family it's a very large park for the size of Fairmount I feel the play equipment is new lot of different things you don't see other places for the kids to try and you play on! It's also got a excellent setup to accommodate the covered virus seems how there is a park on both the North and South side of the school so more than likely you do not have to be bumped up next to a bunch of families you can spread out and enjoy the outdoors as well as the park posts a numerous amount of events one being the James Dean car show at the end of the summer which is the most recent visit I had to the play acres Park all together I would give the park a 10 out of 10 take your family enjoy a picnic play Love great...
