August Prairie Park

Features: 
Playground
Modern equipment
Slides
Climbing structures
Free admittance

August Prairie is a fairly new subdivision in the Town of Holland and this park is new as well. As of this writing, the park consists of a huge modern climbing structure and a stand alone metal climbing structure in the middle of a field. There is no shelter or any other amenities. No swings, either. Parking is on the street. I expect the park will be updated as the neighborhood grows. For now, though, it's not really worth a visit unless you live in the neighborhood.

Holland Sand Prairie

Features: 
Off street parking
Free admittance

Before this area was developed, there was a great sand prairie. Most of it has been paved over and developed or turned into farms. Thankfully some of it has been preserved in the 61 acres of the Holland Sand Prairie. This area is open to the public for a beautiful walk. Bring your camera to photograph the wildflowers or just enjoy nature. More information can be found on the official website or on sites like these:

Two of the baby swings are the old fashioned kind with the bar. There's also a baseball field, a basketball court, and a tennis court. The bathroom is a porta-potty. There isn't much for little kids as the climbing structures aren't meant for little ones.

Gaynor Park

Features: 
Playground
Swings
Slides
Baseball field
Free admittance

The Google map isn't very helpful for this park. It looks as though Gaynor Dr hooks up to McHugh, but it doesn't. What you want to do is take Briggs along side the high school and make a left on Sween Drive. That takes you over to Gaynor. Take a left and follow that down to St Croix.

Unfortunately, the park itself isn't worth all the effort of finding it. The playground is old style equipment and there's not much there. The swing set has two regular swings, a swinging bar, and swinging rings. There are no baby swings. Attached to the swing set is a teeter totter and on the other side is a metal slide. The playground is way back from the road with the grass baseball field between it and the road.

Because of the old style equipment, this park isn't recommended for babies and toddlers. Older kids would do ok with it.
