Steele Creek Park, Bristol

It was worth the $2 parking although we mainly came to ride the train which was out of service. The man running it was friendly and another man/child wanted to ride it, they were in line in front of us and he said you are welcomed to go look at the train so we walk all the way over there but you can't even see the train because it's locked up. You can peak in the wooden cracks but my son couldn't see a thing. He also mentioned paddle boats but I chose not to (did not bring a life jacket for my son). Regardless we are happy we came down. My son enjoyed the splash pad, after warming up to it and wading in the creek. They also have a few playground areas which didn't really interest my autistic son because there was a lot of kids there so he was a little nervous. Oh and there is also a cool indoor area where you are look at live turtles, etc and a little play area for kiddos. All in all we had a great time and will definitely return again but will call ahead to check on the train operation. If you like to take photographs you definitely need to check out Steele Creek Park, it's absolutely beautiful here. In some ways, in a small way it reminds me of Stone Mtn Park back home in GA.

Great place for adventure. It has easy and moderate trails, lots of geese, beautiful overlooks and the little train. What more can you ask for? The visitors center was cool too. For $2/person it was a great bang for my buck.
