1518 Park

Location: FM 1518 about a mile south of 35 (it does not have a street address) in Selma

Amenities: swings, two play structures, covered picnic tables

Ground cover: wood chips

This little park may not have a lot of amenities (like, a bathroom...don't take your potty training ones here!) but it is a lot of fun.  Both of the play structures were fun for my 2 year old, and the larger structure would appeal to older children too.  There's no shade (except over the picnic tables) so bring the sunscreen!

Both sling swings and bucket swings

Two picnic tables with a bit of shade

And another side

 And here is the larger structure.  Those monkey bars are even high enough for an adult to use!

There is a smaller, red, double slide on the other side, and some very challenging climbing equipment that I am not even sure what to call. 

Stage Stop Park

Location: 9374 Valhalla, Selma, TX 78154

Amenities: 2 playgrounds, basketball court, bathrooms, picnic tables, covered pavilion, gravel walking trail

ground cover: wood chips

Stage Stop Park is a fun park for all ages.  There are two playgrounds; one is sunny and has a larger structure that contains some small slides for toddlers and a more challenging section for older children, and the other is shaded and smaller.  My two year old loves both, but the shaded structure may not be as exciting for older kids.  Both playgrounds have bucket swings and sling swings.  The sunny playground also has accessible swings (not pictured) and a ramp on the larger structure (but none of the slides are accessible by ramp).

 This is the larger, sunnier play structure.

 It has a balance beam and monkey bars, which is a nice addition.

Here are the swings in the covered, shady playground.

 Here's the shaded play structure. It is pretty toddler friendly since there are fewer openings to fall off of, but the first step is VERY high above the ground, so smaller toddlers may need a boost.

Here's the back side of it.

Bucket swings by the large structure. I really like that this park has sets of swings in both playgrounds.  In the distance you can kind of see the pavilion.
