- Elgin Hill comprises approximately 6-acres of an extensively landscaped play area, picnic tables and plenty of park space to enjoy during the summer months.

The shoreline has been finished with a “hard rock” edge treatment and the shallow edges of the pond are decorated with pond lilies and shaded by strategically planted trees. A 10-acre, landscaped park surrounds the pond and a pathway system winds its way past benches and other lookouts along the pond’s edge.
- Prestwick Common Park, a 3-acre central park located in the heart of the Village of Prestwick, offers McKenzie Towne residents a multi-faceted recreational space for use throughout the year. Highlighted by a central plaza, Prestwick Common’s water fountain, playing field, tot lot, picnic area and basketball courts make it the perfect place to gather in the summer.
