Stevens Park Pond is the kind of park that makes you want to move into the neighborhood.

Things to do

Make sure to bring all kinds of sports balls to Stevens Park Pond. There is a soccer field, baseball field, two tennis courts, outdoor squash and three basketball courts. And there is a medium to large grass field that gives the kids even more space to run around and play...frisbee!  

The playground is large with games for little ones and toddlers; with mushroom stepping stones, four slides, spider web, climbing rocks, baby swings, kids swings and one full support swing. There is plenty of seating by the playground as well. All amenities are very clean and the area is very safe and peaceful. 

There is also a paved trail that is perfect for a stroller walk with mom friends. It is about half a mile from the playground to the end of the trail. Most of it is shaded and the pavement has no potholes. 

Food and parking

There is a very well-maintained, large, shaded area with picnic tables and benches. Perfect for big groups.

Whether you bring a picnic lunch or just snacks, you will be able to cool down in summer. 

There is plenty of parking.
