Windsor Park — Attraction in Orem

Mind you, we were only at the playground but from what I could see it was a lovely park all around. I will definitely be bringing the kids back. It was a fantastic way for them to play together and apart. Great exercise, skill building, and pure fun. It was as relaxing of an environment with the shade trees and falling leaves as it was exhilarating with its cleverly engineered swings, track ride, and climbing frames. There are treasures and surprises to...
