I go to parks all around with my 3 y.o daughter. This park has it all, fields, playgrounds, splash pad, picnic area with grills, and so much more! It's a super clean, well taken care of park. My new go-to park. It has bathrooms that are clean. They host farmers' markets. Plus special events like a mini circus and fun days for kids. There's plenty to do being an adult as well, like basketball courts and tennis courts.

Cool playground structures, ample play space for running around. The basketball court also looks decent. They would have a much better space if they kept it clean. Theres lots of littering spread around and under the structures that seems to have been there for a long time. Also, the skating structure does not seem well maintained, and the polluted stream is not fenced or protected, or well marked, the caution signs are small and way too out of sight.

Buttery Brook Park is a relatively small park with plenty of parking. Theres a fairly new play scape for children. Im not sure if it is operational, but there is a spray park as well. A short walk through the woods is on the south side of the park. There are also picnic tables under a pavilion. Nice little place for all the family.

Buttery Brook at one time was an Idyllic place where children could play in the woods, families could picnic, there were exotic birds, deer and some farm animals to view and feed. The woods are overgrown, the animals are gone, their coops and sheds in ruin, the pavilions and remaining structures in disrepair and in need of paint. The stream that bisects the field is toxic. Sad!
