Marquand Park (aka Sand Box Park)
at (Playgrounds)
A large sand box with lots of toys is the main attraction of this park. Besides the sand box, there are a small play structure with slide, swing, and climbing frame. Adjacent to the play area are a baseball field and an open field. There are paved walking paths if you want to stroll and enjoy the various specimen of trees. You can spread your blanket and have a picnic under shady trees. It is a popular destination for play dates, and you will always find someone here. You can spend hours at this beautiful 17-acre park, but the down side is that there is no restroom. Make sure to bring a portable potty for your child.

This is a great park. It seems to attract an international crowd with many university families and Au-Pairs.

What a wonderful park! We took our 14-month-old, and he was delighted with the sandbox, the swings,
and the slide. And would’ve explored the trails forever if we’d let him. Wish I’d known about it
sooner – thanks so much for the tip.
