Hempfield Park

My first experience at this park was going to my cousins reception there. Followed by my own reception and then my younger cousins. It's nice to have this option for a low cost wedding reception while still having beautiful scenery and kitchens in the pavillion. Then I took my kids there for basketball with the rec center. We have spent so many hours there doing different activities. The park has really come far from the first day I visited, almost 30 years ago.

We came for a quick play session and the equipment didn't disappoint. Our family of five spun around on the in-ground merry go round feeling the angular momentum. (Science!😉) The tube slides, climbing ropes, loops, rocks and bars, musical instruments and even the silly giggle box. 😂 We had a great time! Definitely recommend. Also, shout out to whoever did the awesome chalk art. (See pics)

Delightful and relaxing!
Brand new 3 story playground!
Pavilions and walking trails!

My boys (5 & 8) have been playing Hempfield Red soccer since they were two and four. This is my 5 year old’s third season and my 8 year old’s eleventh season. They really do a good job teaching the boys the basics of the game and how to play when they’re little (even when they’re older if they are just getting in to it) and with setting up the teams and the schedules. This past June (2019) they finally got a new rec director and there have been some great improvements thus far. The grounds are always kept very nice and it is evident that all four of the soccer fields and all equipment is well taken care of. The only downfall at the soccer fields is that there are no restrooms for use up at the fields. You either have to walk all the way down to the etc office or hold it!

This is a very good park to visit as it has the necessary public facilities a park should have. It has public restrooms, a cricket pitch, a baseball field, a nice pathway that leads you to the main "park". Overall it's amazing and is a place that should be visited almost every week. Take your dogs with you!!
