Fort Island / Griffiths Park
Fort Island / Griffiths Park is in Fairlawn. In addition to a soft surface playground, basketball and tennis courts, Griffith's Park has a Learning Resource Center with live animals. In the LRC, the kid's favorites were the cockatiel and chinchilla and the library/play room. There are volunteer opportunities for children to help care for their live animals, see the LRC link below for more info. There is also a 1.6 mile stroller-friendly boardwalk that carries you above some of the wetlands the 60- acre park is situated on.
