Ambler boro is just .8 square miles, but the boro has found room to pack in several parks, and it is safe to say, there is something for everyone. Jean Thompson Park, located at Chestnut and Center streets, is perfect for your tiny tots. It has plenty of swings, and slides geared towards the younger folk. There are also two basketball courts around the corner for those slightly older children.
Ricciardi park, located on Hendricks, between Mt. Pleasant and Tennis avenues...has something for everyone. It also has a tot lot, for smaller children, but its big draw is a multi purpose court area, for roller blading, roller hockey, skate boarding, and anything else you can think of. There is a walking trail which is lined with trees, for those who just want a bit of nature.
Knight Park located on South Main street, between Church and Bannockburn, packs a playtime punch with 2 basketball courts, 2 bocce ball courts(under the lights for those night time games) and a multi purpose court, for all things on wheels. Don't forget the little league baseball field, picnic pavilion, lots of grass, and more play equipment for those tiny tots.'
Pickering Field, located at Park and Highland Avenue, is mostly used for organized sports, like T-ball, baseball, and softball. There are swings, and a slide, as well as another basketball court.
Ambler Borough park, located off of Hendricks street, at Edgewood drive, is perfect for all of us nature lovers. It's a narrow 8.6 acre park that runs along side Rose Valley Creek.
And finally, the newest addition to Ambler Borough is the skate park, located within Knight Park.
The skateboarder's paradise opened September 2011, and it has been rocking and rolling ever since.
