If you live on the south end, there is a really great park on Powell road south of 466A.

It is a very large playground, new and in good condition, fenced with picnic tables too. We had a Birthday Party there for our Grandson who turned 1 during their visit. We had 10 grandkids here that visit ranging in age from the 1 yr old to 18. The older kids played soccer on the fields directly adjacent to the fenced playground. Rest rooms there too.

Take them inside the Barn Storm theater. You don't need tickets to go into the lobby and see the tractor and barnyard corral there. Then next door to "Scooples" or "Dunkin Donuts" for treats.

Occasionally they do carriage rides around Brownwood too.

Golf cart rides, the squares and the pools, and boat ride around Lake Sumter, as mentioned, will keep them happy. The trolley tour is fun too. Kids like anything that moves!

Be sure to have a noodle, sand bucket and shovel, and wide brimmed hat for the pool.

Our grandkids have more fun here than at the theme parks!
