About this playground

Facilities

This playground is a bright and inviting space that encourages active play for children. Unfortunately, there are no shaded areas, making it less suitable for hot days. There is no full rain protection cover for the climbing equipment, so parents should keep weather conditions in mind.

Equipment

The playground features a variety of climbing structures, slides, swings, and unique equipment specifically designed for older kids. There's also a special swing that allows younger children to enjoy swinging in a circle. Overall, it's more suitable for kids aged 4 and up due to the technical challenges of the climbing equipment, although there are some smaller slides and swings for younger children.

Safety & Cleanliness

The park is reported to be clean and well-maintained, with a soft AstroTurf ground that provides a bouncy landing for falls. However, safety precautions should be observed as there are no large trees for shade, and children could get too hot if exposed to the sun for long.

Amenities

While the park is surrounded by a residential neighborhood and is located next to a YMCA, it lacks public restrooms on-site. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches for seating. However, no covered seating areas are visible.

Who It's For

This playground is suited for children of all ages, particularly those up to around 10 years old. Younger toddlers may need assistance on some of the climbing structures, especially if they are under 4.

What is Missing

Improvements could include the addition of shaded seating, public restrooms, and somewhere to grab food nearby. Also, charging points for devices and water fill stations would enhance the visitor experience.
