Diamond Path parks offer youth sports and nature
There are two parks in Diamond Path. Diamond Path Park, the neighborhood’s namesake, which is home to paved walking paths and open green spaces and Delaney Park, which is more activity focused. During the springtime, newly hatched ducklings and goslings can be seen snacking on grass or swimming in Diamond Path Park’s pond. Delaney Park also offers good nature watching, and bald eagles are regularly spotted roosting in the trees. Junker says Delaney Park is a popular recreation spot for Diamond Path residents because there are trails, playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball fields and soccer fields. “We have a really active youth sports program,” Junker says. During the winter, there’s also an ice rink so locals can get a few laps in, practice their spins or play a pick-up hockey game.
