Trombly Park
Trombly Park is a well-maintained neighborhood park that is especially accommodating for families and children, including those with special needs. It features a fenced playground with new equipment such as slides and swings, picnic tables, and restroom facilities (though restrooms are not always open). The park offers ample shaded areas and open fields where dogs are allowed to play, but off-leash dogs are not permitted by law. It also serves as a cricket ground with a pitch in the middle of the field. The park is wheelchair accessible with accessible entrance and parking.

Open field and decently maintained. Dogs are allowed and has plenty of space for them to play. Swings and slides for kids and has plenty of shade to sit under. Field also doubles up as a cricket ground with pitch in the middle. Orientation of pitch is at angle which makes it tough to judge it in the beginning. Since the park is surrounded by houses and cricket balls do travel to the nearby houses, creating a risk for trespassing. Restrooms are located on site but are not open most of the time.
If you have special needs children this place is accommodating. They have a large swing that will fit any size child teen and adult that has a plastic harness in front and a full plastic back for those who cant sit on a standard swing. There is also a swing for babies with an attached parent swing. There is a play structure and several standard swings and baby swings in a wood chip bed. A decently sized field by the play area and then another on the other side of the parking lot. Several times a week there are varying sports teams that practice in the fields. There is a couple of picnic tables. Fair warning though. My major complaint. There are several dog owners that come let their dogs off leash. One in particular has two rottweilers and another is “training” his pit bull and German shepherd. He hits them with sticks. It’s hard to watch and I’ve complained every single time to the powers that be. Any dog being off leash no matter their breed is against the law and poses a danger to the patrons especially the small children, disabled, other dogs,, or elderly should one decide to attack. Dogs are brought, including my own, on leash as well. Teens also come speeding into the lot music blaring on occasion but not super often and these are things you’ll find at any park. Nice place to go. I appreciate the special needs accommodations.
This park is wonderful! It’s tucked back into the neighborhood and fenced so you don’t have to worry about the kids wandering. The equipment is new and so engaging. There are trees for shade, lots of open space for running and sports, and bathrooms. We love it here!
Why are there Professional Cricket Teams using the park and not paying for maintenance.
This was my first time here I live about 4 blocks away. It was a really nice park, it looked well maintained. I was a little freaked out by the homeless person laying under the tree but it was a woman with a little dog so I didn’t
Feel as threatened as I might have if it was a man with a big dog. I stayed and let my granddaughter play.
