Centennial Park sounds like a fun place to go exploring.  There isn't anything built there, but there are some trails, and you are free to wander wherever those little hearts desire.  Throw on some bug spray and see what you can find in the woods and creek.

Preview Post: Highland Park

Altoona's Highland Park is pretty small.  There is some nice picnic space with a covered eating area and some grass for running around.  It says they have a playground, but it must be pretty small because I'm not seeing it from any angle on Google Maps.  There are no bathrooms!  Personally, I think I'd try one of Altoona's other parks first.

Altoona City Park looks like a nice little place to stop and play for a couple of hours.  They have two totally separate playsets geared toward different age groups.  There are also bathrooms and a picnic shelter, plus a really nice set of tennis courts if that's your family's thing.

Preview Post: Lake Front Park

Lake Front Park is billed as a handicapped-accessible park.  There is no playground, but there are restrooms, so it sounds like a great place to feed the ducks, if you ask me!  Does anyone who's been here have any thoughts?
