Armory Park (Piqua, Ohio)

UPDATE: We recently drove by Armory Park and some of the play equipment featured in this post have been removed. Stay tuned Summer of 2018 for an update! We will included updated information soon!

Today we would like to share with you Armory Park Piqua, Ohio. This small park is located on 3 acres and is just down the street from Miami Valley Centre Mall before you get to the center of town. It is fenced in on 3 sides but it appears that it might have been fenced in on all four sides with the way the openings are located.

The one thing that is very unique about this park is the red and blue play structure. This piece of equipment would be great for those kids wanting to pretend they are in American Ninja Warrior training!

Kiwanis Park (Piqua, Ohio)

Today we went to Kiwanis Park and had food from the Salvation Army traveling food truck.This park has a nice variety of play equipment for children over 5 years old or younger children with big siblings willing to help them play. Some of the structures requires longer legs than a preschooler might have unless they are very energetic and strong!

There were two slides and a tunnel that the children played on as well as a swinging thing and monkey bars. There is also a set of three twirling steering wheels and a flippy bar.

Shoup Park (Beavercreek, Ohio)

June 5, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

One of the parks that my children love going to each Summer is Shoup Park in Beavercreek, Ohio. We usually only visit it once or twice a year due to the time it takes us to get there but the drive is so worth it. We make sure to pack our water bottles, snack bags, sun screen and wax paper.

Yes! You read that right. Wax paper is a must for the long metal slide at Shoup Park! The wax paper helps make the slide faster which means more fun for the kids.

Lake Loramie State Park #30Places30Days

May 20, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Can you believe that we have lived within 25 minutes of Lake Loramie State Park beach and have never been to the beach? My husband has been to Lake Loramie State Park with an uncle to fish and never even saw the beach. We even camped at the camp ground when Big Red was 13 months old! I am so glad that the #30Places30Days local travel challenge has gotten us to explore fun things to do in and around our county!

We headed off to Lake Loramie State Park to check out the beach. The weather was over 80 degrees but we weren’t sure if it would be “open” or if the beach area would be fenced off and closed. To our surprise and the children’s dismay the beach was open and not fenced and accessible year round!
