Goddard Park is located in West Grove, Pennsylvania which is south of Coastesville and close to the Delaware border. Its location makes for a great pit stop on road trips to the Delaware beaches if you’re coming from central Pennsylvania or other northern points.
The playground at Goddard Park is located up a slight hill from the large, gravel parking lot. It’s visible from the parking lot. This caused my kids to run right up the hill!
The playground’s main attraction is the large barn. There are several different ways to get inside the barn, including a mushroom walkway! Kids can also climb a pile of “hay” to get in. Watch for the pitch fork!
Inside the barn, kids can climb through different levels and a tunnel. Exiting the barn is easy with quite a few slides to choose from. Toddlers may need some help inside the barn if they are new walkers and still unsteady with steps.
On the far side of the barn, there’s a double slide and a fireman’s pool. There’s also a couple other ways to climb into the barn including a rock wall and two ladders.
The park also includes a set of swings, baby swings, and a tire swing. There’s also two sets of small pavilions with picnic tables.
Goddard Park Restrooms
Restrooms are located beside the parking lot. Keep in mind the restrooms don’t have full running water facilities, as the inside is more like a Porta Potty.
Goddard Park Walking Trail
The park also features walking trails. A map close to the parking lot shows the options for unpaved trails, paved trails, gravel trails, and township trails that travel outside the park and connect to trails inside the park.
