High School Park
An 11-plus-acre restored native meadow on the former Cheltenham High School grounds, with demonstration gardens, a rain garden, and a raised bird observation deck above Tookany Creek. Friends of High School Park has tended it since 1995 and runs a Summer Music Series and the one-day Arts in the Park festival.

86 acres and four miles of trails through fields and woodlands, home to a 300-year-old oak, saved from a housing development when neighbors and the Land Conservancy bought the land outright. Open dawn to dusk with leashed dogs welcome; mountain bikes and horses (ride-in only) too.
Kardon Park
Ponds and walking trails just off E Pennsylvania Ave on the edge of downtown Downingtown. The ponds pull in anglers and waterfowl through most of the year.

A wooded sanctuary off Jefferson Avenue in Ardsley, kept as habitat instead of lawn. Quiet ground for a walk and for whatever is nesting in it.
