Buhr Park Description
Over the years we have spent a lot of time at Buhr Park including swimming and soccer games. Our first visit to the playground was when my daughter was a toddler. We planned a playgroup outing to Tot Splash at the pool and temperatures barely made it into the 60s. Rather than freezing at the pool (which didn’t even open), we relocated to the playground.

The playground is surrounded by large trees providing shade through most of the day. There was a lot of shade when we visited in the morning.

Beyond Buhr Park
The playground is just one part of Buhr Park. In the summer, spend time at Buhr Park Pool. The tot pool is great especially during Tot Splash. Or, enjoy swimming in the full pool. In winter, enjoy skating at Buhr Park Outdoor Ice Arena. The ice arena is open air, but still covered from the elements.
Cobblestone Farm is a historic farm that has been restored to its 19th century state with the barn remodeled for use as an event space. Tours are offered on Tuesday evenings from 4-7p. The house is maintained as a museum by the Cobblestone Farm Association who offers some events and tours by appointment.
