The Mommy Park Review: Garey Park

 Map: 6450 Ranch to Market Rd 2243, Georgetown, TX 78628

Overall: 4.75/5

Factor

Description

Rating (Out of 5)

Uniqueness

Did it have that "keep Austin Weird" Unique vibe? Was it new and interesting or same old neighborhood park? (Nothing wrong with your neighborhood park...but if we took the effort to travel...we want something different and unique!) A value of 1 means it was not very unique, a value of 5 means it was crazy unique and different.

5

Variety

Refers to the different areas or different activities that were available. A value of 1, means there was not much variety. A value of 5 means it had a lot of different things for the kids!

5

Safety

How safe was my toddler without me having to intervene much? Did he fall multiple times? Did he hurt himself? A value of 1 is not very safe and probably would not bring the kid back. A value of 5 means safety was in the mind of the designer and pretty much kid proof.

4

Kid Friendly

Was it Intentionally design for kids? Or mostly for adults? A value of 1 would mean that it was fun enough for kids, but not really designed for kids. A value of 5 would be it is designed for kids.

Overall

Average of all factors listed below for final overall score

4.75

Cost: Depends on age and being Georgetown Resident. It was 2$/adult if you are a Georgetown Resident.

Stroller friendly? Yes.

Restroom available: Yes! Near the toddler park.

Overall the park is great as it is not so crowded, maybe because there is a 4$ fee per adult to get inside Garey park. I believe it is 2$/person if you are a Georgetown resident. IMO it worth it as it is unique, it has a horse theme, and access to 9 trails. My son loves animals so he was very into it! We went to the park first to wear the kids out and as a bonus we completed the Meadows loop. 

Entrance

Turf, horses and covered areas! 

The park has both a toddler park and a big kid park.

Toddler Park

It also has a uniqueness factor as it has a set of zip lining for kids! My son is 2 and a half and he loved it! I thought he would be too young for it, but after a couple of times he just kept asking us to take him back to the zip lining. The whole park also has a lot of see through areas like tunnels which make it fun.

Zip Lines

There is also a water area. Since we went in January 2021, this area had no water, but in the summer it is a fun activity.

Water Park Area


Overall very safe but never leave your kid unattended. The ground was both turf and concrete. There were only a couple of hiccups. The blue covered slide has a very high slope!  It feels almost like freefall and I could not do it a second time as I was scared! I almost hit my sons head on the metal swing when getting him out of the two person slide. 

 

The slide behind this green one was very steep! Too steep IMO
