James P Brock Memorial Park
Location

About the park
This park is located about 4 minutes from Brooklyn High School and 4 minutes from World Famous Kiddie Park. It is hidden a bit as Brooklyn is a smaller city, but if you find it, you will not forget it. This park is incredible and has everything you need. The park itself is pretty massive, and if you walk around you will discover a basketball court, volleyball area amongst pavilions for parties and 3 giant playsets loaded with color.
Access to the park
10 minutes from 480 on Ridge, and 5 minutes from 480 on Tiedman. An easy find and large enough parking lot that you shouldn’t have any troubles.
Things to do
3 giant playsets

Best part of the park
I love the colors that are bright and noticeable on all 3 giant playsets. They also use metal and not that hard plastic which is also a plus. We really loved this park!
