Cross Country Park

Cross Country Park

Corner of Basswood and Aspen in Verona

August 4, 2012

Cross Country Park has long been a favorite of ours in Verona. (It's one of several within walking distance of my house.) We commonly refer to it as "The Green Park."

One of the fun aspects of this park is that if you enter from the Basswood side, you have to cross this bridge. Watch out for the troll that hangs out underneath it!

When we visited most recently, it was too wet to go on the slides, but the triple slide is one of Nadia's favorite parts of this playground. You can have races with friends (or Aunties).

Nadia's favorite part of this playground has always been the octagon steps. They are great for pretending--for Nadia they are commonly lily pads for a frog or a path for a princess!

The playground also has a digger

and a little merry-go-round.

There's plenty of equipment for climbing (Nadia was a little nervous about this part), multiple sets of monkey bars, and a swing set as well.
