Lion’s Pride Park

Lion’s Pride Park is located in Chalfont, PA. We have visited nearby Kid’s Castle, which is another incredible park, but had not heard of Lion’s Pride before. It appears the park recently underwent a major rebuild, and there is currently another project at this site that is still in the works. This particular park was especially enjoyable for my husband and I, as there were not really any sections that were too dangerous for our almost 3-year-old. One of our favorite parks, Heritage Park in Asbury, NJ, has a very tall play structure that has many points where a smaller child could potentially fall from some significant heights. This park did not have that, yet it still had plenty of play structures that were challenging and exciting enough for our 6 year old. The tall play structure in the photo above has 4 levels of cargo nets, that our little guy worked very hard to conquer, and after a few hours of trying, walking away, and coming back for another shot, he made it to the top with a little help from a friend and mom.

The soft matting found throughout the play area, made climbing the steep hills a little easier and allowed kids to access the long slide from the hill, rather than going all the way around to the stairs on the backside of the hill.

The silver railing style slides were so much fun! Many of the adults in the park were also taking turns enjoying them. The blue slide on the right is extra wide to allow for multiple riders, or an adult companion for anyone needing assistance.

This music area was superior to any playground musical instruments I have seen. In many playgrounds, I notice the musical elements spread throughout the park and they usually consist of drums, rainmakers, and xylophones that usually produce more noise than music. This area was truly musical. As someone who is often overwhelmed by sounds, this was actually enjoyable to listen to.

In addition to everything pictured above, the park has a set of swings, a small sandbox and a small play structure intended for ages 2-5. There are picnic tables, a covered pavilion, hammocks (they were down for the winter), and bathrooms with running water (open during the winter). I overhead a few people talking about a splash pad in the area. We will definitely be checking that out once warmer weather arrives.
