397 Nichols Drive
Brecon Park is a six acre neighborhood park, situated in the southwestern portion of the Rolling Meadows neighborhood, within walking distance of approximately four hundred households. It is bordered by, and accessible from, North Harris Street, Nichols Drive and Watson Drive, with forty-nine parking spaces available between two lots, one located on North Harris and the other along Nichols Drive. Sidewalks and paths also connect the park to nearby homes and apartments.
Brecon Park features several facilities, supporting a wide range of activities. Amenities include: a fenced basketball court, a baseball field, a paved trail, benches (some shaded by trees), an open field, and playground equipment including all the basics - slides, swings, a jungle-gym -and more.
A 2008 community survey shows that residents use the park for many activities, the most popular being: as a playground, for walking or walking the dog, playing basketball and playing baseball.
The Rec on the Go program brings games and activities to the park every Thursdays each summer, from June 15 through August 14th. Art Van Go, hosted by the Two Twelve Art Center for children five to fourteen, also meets at the park each Thursday, from June 15th to August 6th.
Please note that the tennis courts at Brecon Park have been closed due to disrepair and, given the results of a community survey, are likely to be replaced by further playground equipment or a pavilion at some point in the future.
