- 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. And when the snow flies, families can enjoy an afternoon of ice-skating and warm up around the plaza’s fire pit.
