Two of our readers messaged me telling me that I had to go see the new park in Hickman. So, I put my three kids in the van and one friend for each of them (the van was packed) and we drove over to the new park. They were not kidding-it is incredible. Slides, zip lines, obstacle course for tweens/teens, swings.
We couldn't find a name for this park anywhere so we have temporarily nicknamed it "Best Park Ever" because that is what the kids kept telling me!

LOCATION
- I couldn't find an official address for the park. Drive to the intersection Oakview Dr and 10th St in Hickman and you'll see the park in the distance. You'll know it because if your kids are like mine they'll scream, "Look at that park!"

SPECIAL FEATURES & PLAYGROUND NOTES
- I was honestly stunned by the size of this park! It is enormous and has a range of equipment for all ages. I had two 12-year-olds with me and I loved that a lot of the equipment was still big enough for them to play on. They might be big kids but they are still kids!
- There is an "Elevate Equipment" section that is teens/tweens and even adults. It is an obstacle course.
- The ziplines were everyone's favorites. The ten and nine year old spent an hour on them.
- You can climb and climb and climb at this park.
- We arrived (6 kids) and then about 20 neighborhood kids came from surrounding houses. This park is so large that another 20 could have come and it still wouldn't have felt crowded.
