About this playground

Facilities

Equipment

The playground has an assortment of equipment, including slides, climbing structures, and bridges, which provide a variety of ways for children to engage in active play.

Given the installation, safety measures are in place, though parental supervision is essential.

Safety & Cleanliness

While the playground structure is in good condition and appears to be well-maintained, the absence of a fenced area near a road poses safety risks. Parents may feel uneasy about their children running freely without any barriers.
