Stella Olsen Memorial Park — Attraction in Sherwood

Very nice Park! There's a short, but not too short walking trail which passes over some swampy wetland where ducks and nutria swim right up. I guess they're expecting food, but I didn't have any with me. Very clean and quiet. The playground is really cool.

Parking lot is across the street. Would give 5 stars if the lower park had toilets, hillside was developed more and had...

My family walks here all the time, kids enjoy the well-maintained playground, and there are a number of events during the summertime that bring us to this park frequently. The main path from the parking ground leads you to an elevated walkway/bridge that traverses a beautiful wetland/pond area where my kids are fond of feeding the ducks and searching for other wildlife that abounds in this area (Frogs, cranes, turtles, beaver, nutria, deer, etc.!). This park is a natural centerpiece of the Old Town area, and the city of Sherwood does a great job in keeping it...
