This is such an awesome playground in Belhaven! Very different from most parks we’ve been to. There’s a lot of interesting sections to play at/on. Bonus points for the emergency phone in the center of the playground, the pavilion, and the take one, leave one library they have way in the back of the huge, grassy field. Check out the pictures because it is so hard for me to explain all of the fun to be had at this park.

Lovely playground and entrance to walking trail. It has a sandbox, slides, jungle gym, and multiple swing sets. The street side and drainage side are fenced.

We love the open field behind the playground. Chiko loves to run around here and always gets the zoomies! There are no restrooms, so limit your liquid intake and use one before you head out here.

As visitors to the area, we were extremely early to check in so we thought we’d try to find a park to hang out. This park was unkept and unmanicured. To top it off, the water fountain did not work. I can’t believe how this city is running itself into the ground. The streets had so many potholes, I had to see my chiropractor when I returned home. This is completely unacceptable and undesirable. Get rid of your current mayor!!!
