QO Tennis and Swim Club is our summer pool destination. They have a young kid friendly area, a deeper area for more experienced swimmers, and a well with a diving board. They also have shower and locker room facilities for changing before and after. There's no food on premises but they have an eating area for food to be brought or ordered into.

I went here to attend a soccer practice. The soccer field is above the main playground. A small trail from the main parking lot leads up to the soccer field.

You can also park on the side street, with another path to the field, though parking there is much less official.

There are two goals but you must bring your own nets. The woods around the field keep out all except midday sun. These same woods will swallow any high kicked balls, so bring a few extra to reduce the delays of game.

Redland Local Park is directly off Redland Rd, North of Shady Grove Station. The playground is great for all ages, but the monkey bars are too high for early elementary school age. The soccer field is great and very well maintained. Parking is limited, especially in game days and between games.
