Have you been to Oxford Park (formally Merchants Park) in Berkley? It’s the perfect place to cool off this summer with kids.
The newer park and playground featurs a FREE 1600 square-foot natural splash pad area with sprayers both small and large (turn on by hitting the button at the entrance to the splash pad), a playground with climbing structures, multiple slides, and swings for both babies and older kids.
Bonus: There is a universally designed family restrooms, drinking fountain and water bottle refill station. Along with picnic tables, benches and shaded grassy areas for picnics and relaxing.
