From West Bloomington, to Normal, to East Bloomington...we have been traveling to parks! We went to Walt Bittner Park this week. It is located at 3907 Rave Rd....just off of Towanda Barnes Rd just south of Fort Jesse. This park has a playground, basketball court, baseball field, pavallion/picnic area, and a big open field. We saw someone flying a kite out in the big open field which we thought was a great idea and something we may try sometime. The play ground was really nice and clean. It had a larger play area with a sign posted saying it was for ages 5 to 12. It did have a pretty big, dangerous type opening with a rock wall that older kids would like. It had a smaller play area too. It had swings and some other "ride-on" activities for the kids to do. It did have benches for people to sit on. There wasn't much shade except under the pavillion. One thing that I just couldn't believe is that it had NO bathroom...good thing "mi-mi" lives just around the corner! Overall we give this park 3 and 1/2 stars.
Bigger play area (see rock wall with openings). Also off to the left you can see this big thing hanging down and then a seat. It was a really neat swing type thing that I hadn't seen at any of the other parks. Reece sat on it and basically wrapped her legs around the pole and held onto it and you spin them around. I thought it was pretty neat!
Back side of big play area...lots of things to climb on
Smaller play area...this was one of the nicer (and really cute) smaller play areas I have seen.
