Three Great Things about Strafford Park

By Nate Feldman

Strafford Park is an exceptional place to spend an afternoon.  Although it is relatively small, it offers a wide array of enjoyable activities for people of all interests.  Here are some of the things you can do while in the area.

1. Sit under a tree on a hot day

There are many places you can do this.  At the back of the park is a forested area with a dirt path you can walk along.  There are also many shaded areas in the playground situated in front of the woods.

2. Play Sports

The park has tennis courts which are often filled with local players.  There are tennis tutorials offered throughout the year.  There is also a basketball court and a baseball field.

3. Read a book at the library

You can go inside the Tredyffrin library to read, or you can read on the balcony behind the library facing the park. The library has two floors of books of all genres and offers places to work, study, and have meetings or special events.

Extra Activities:

The park slopes down a large hill from the library to the playground.  During the winter months, when it snows, a lot of people go sledding down the hill.  The path in the woods is also an ideal spot for cross-country skiers.

While you are in the area:

Visit the Strafford Farmer's Market, a short distance away.  It is open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout the year and has a large variety of fresh produce and food.
