Bonus information we want you to know about Stanley Tip Seaman Park 

Jenn says she appreciates that the Stanley Tip Seaman County Park sits back from the road. As you turn off Route 9, you come into the park county complex. The playground is the first left.

There is a building and fencing that prevents children from running out into the busy street. In fact, you can’t even see Route 9 from the playground. There is a smaller wooden fence to prevent children from walking directly into the parking lot.

The park offers a picnic area with many wooden tables located around near the lake. The area is shaded by the trees that surround them. There are also several grills at the picnic areas. Grab some hot dogs and burgers and make lunch while enjoying a day at the park.
