Olcott Park (41.1 acres) is located at 2300 E Canada Dr.
Playground: Accessible playground with equipment for older and younger children. The playground at Olcott Park reopened over the Memorial Day weekend, after the installation of new rubber surfacing, which required consecutive days of warm, dry weather for installation and curing. The playground had been closed since fall 2020 due to the buckling of the previous surfacing.

Parking Areas: Large parking area, 20+ spaces including wheelchair accessible spaces
Play Fields: Reservable multi-purpose play field. For reservation information, contact Dee Tuttle at 349-3762.
