The Mountain Brook Tot-Lot is located on one edge of Crestline Village, basically in the "city center." Even though we don't really have one. Anyway the tot-lot is a playground for the younger children and a great place for young parents to socialize while their children play. It's mulch for the "floor," I guess you would say, and there's swings and jungle gyms and what have you. There are also a couple of benches and picnic tables. The picnic tables are located in a decent sized open gazebo. Two sides of the park are surrounded by households, and the other two by Crestline Village and Crestline Elementary. So, not only do you have children from nearby homes coming and playing in the tot-lot, but also kids from Crestline Elementary who can walk there after school. Did I mention the distance from the school to the tot-lot is all of about a forty-five second walk. This park has been here for years. I grew up playing in it 25 years ago, and I hope it stays right there for a long time to come.
