Today is Saturday and what better thing is there to do than to visit one of Greensboro's parks? The above photo was taken at Keeley Park, located at 4100 Keeley Road in McLeansville. Keeley Park has so many amenities, from a community garden to a sprayground, to stocked fishing ponds, to paved walking trails and more. There are shelters you can reserve and on the day we were there, the above shelter was reserved for the birthday celebration of a two year old. As you can see, the shelters are very nice, and a good way to have a large event and not worry about it being in your home.
The land where Keeley Park is located was originally a family owned farm, and then a city-owned plant nursery. Keeley Park originally opened in 2012, however Phase II opened to the public in December of 2020. It consists of 114 acres. The Urban Loop crosses the eastern part of the park and makes it easily accessible from all over Greensboro. One of the park's most notable features is an "Up In the AIR" playground that is a fully inclusive playground. AIR stands for "adaptive and inclusive recreation," and allows children of all abilities can play together. If you haven't ever been out there, please treat yourself to a visit.
Happy Saturday!
A good shelter.
