Comments: Marlowe Manor Park is a nice, tame park for smaller kiddos – aside from the monkey bars, there’s nothing really tall to fall off of. The Park is right next to the pool, so that could be a distraction in the summer if you don’t want to swim.  On the upside, there’s usually ample parking, and the dense shade makes it a great place for a picnic before/after the kiddos play. The pool sells memberships, but they’ve also allowed my kids and I to come in and pay a “day rate” to swim.  I’d recommend calling ahead if you want to do that just to make sure policies haven’t changed.
