Colony Park
2519 Cromwell Drive, Wyomissing
Playground Spotlight: Colony Park
Another family favorite—and for good reason! This playground offers a little something for everyone.
Play Features:
Two climbing structures (one designed specifically for younger kids!)
Mini monkey bars
Baby and regular swings
Sports Amenities:
Basketball court
Tennis courts
Baseball diamond
Beach volleyball court (or as my kids call it—the giant sandbox!)
Other Perks:
Covered picnic pavilion
On-site parking lot
Convenient location just off Broadcasting Road
This is a great spot for a playdate, picnic, or just to burn off some energy!
Parent Tip:
If you have a little one who likes to run, keep a close eye on them. While there is fencing around the baseball diamond, it doesn’t fully close off access to Broadcasting Road. If your child is vehicle-obsessed (like mine was!), it can be a little nerve-wracking.
Are there any bathrooms?
Yes, they are attached to the pavilion and always locked, to my knowledge. But there is a singular port-o-potty next to the parking lot, just a bit of a walk away. It's relatively clean.
How much parking is there?
There is a small lot (26 spaces and 1 handicapped space) off of Cromwell Drive, with a macadam pathway leading to the play area.
Is it handicapped accessible?
No. I have pretty high standards for accessibility, and I think this playground would be difficult for someone in a wheelchair or otherwise differently-abled to navigate. There is a decent walk to get to the actual play area, slight levels/curbs between grass and mulch, and the mulch would be tough to move around in. In addition, there are no wheelchair accessible swings or access to the jungle gym.
Are dogs allowed?
I saw no signs indicating otherwise.
