Shillito Park

Great park! Newly renovated, has an area for younger toddlers and another area close by for bigger kids with lots of cool things to climb on and explore. The swings are nice, some of them are tandem swings even. There's a safe, wheelchair accessible merry-go-round. And there's even a water area where kids can turn a wheel and water comes out and flows through canals. This has been one of my favorite playgrounds, we will definitely come again!

This review is for the playground only. It was perfect for my 6 year old and tons of space to run around and play for the pile of kids that were there. No one on top of each other (except of course when they wanted to pile up). The music play areas was probably the best I have seen despite no one playing there... I had fun at least. Everything is in good mechanical shape and working well. The rest of the park looked nice too and a ton of people out walking but we stuck to the playground for this specific trip.

One of Lexington’s largest parks, it features a large public pool, a three mile walking/bike path, tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, a huge playground and plenty of places to picnic or have large gatherings. A nice place to get nature photos and for bird watching. Keen observers may also see foxes, raccoons and other wildlife.
