Archbold Ohio Home Inspector visits Woodland Park

Finally had a break from inspections, so I packed up the four kids and headed to Archbold, Ohio while my wife/secretary got caught up on office work.

My first impression was very high after first arriving at this beautiful park.  My kids' impressions were apparently the same, because 2 out of the 4 already had their seatbelts off, before I even parked (the other 2 probably would have also, if they were able).  First off, the facility is very, very large, with many open areas, including numerous soccer fields.  There is also a sidewalk encompassing the entire area, which is great for joggers, walkers, bike riding, etc. In addition, there were even trails in the woods, to enjoy the wonders of nature and/or to get out of the hot sun for a bit. 

The playground equipment is incredible, with nothing quite comparable in the Northwest Ohio area. There's three very tall, tube slides, which even satisfied my 10 year old, which is hard to do sometimes.  Rock climbing walls, a little tikes area, and basketball courts, also add to the fun.   The playground area's floor is a soft, composite padding which is also a very nice feature, especially for my 11 month old knees & hands, for crawling around.  The kids also thoroughly enjoyed running up and down or rolling on the sledding hill.

If you haven't visited Woodland Park yet, I encourage you to take the family and enjoy everything it has to offer.  It is truly a wonderful facility, well kept, and a great way to spend some time having fun, and best of all it's FREE.  

It also poops out the kids to give Mom & Dad some peace & quiet for a bit :)

Wish I could fall asleep like that.  On second thought I'm usually driving, maybe that's not a good idea.

Joshua, wish that park was near us. Woodland Park looks like a really great place to take little ones... and it's free??  That is wonderful!

You need to take the kids to Cedar Point in Sandusky and take lots of pictures to share with us. I think I'm out of the amusement park phase, but my marketing guru can't get enough of them.
