Highlights:
- There are ramps which make the bulk of this playground accessible.
- Low monkey bars, 2 spinners that are lower to the ground than most, and a balancing platform
- Picnic area and grills near the playground and overlooking the view
- Fun stagecoach-themed equipment that’s great for pretend play
- It’s a great playground for smaller children because there aren’t many high spots. Most openings feel protected.
- Lots of interactive boards for music or games on the play equipment
- 2 bench swings, 2 baby swings
Be Aware:
- I imagine it’s busy during ball games and at school pick-up and drop-off.
- The mom at the playground said she loves the park, but she was only there because it was a cloudy day. On the hot days of summer, this park doesn’t have much shade. The trees will eventually grow in and make it feel more lush.

- Dedicated parking lot with only one entrance/exit
- Play surface: Bark
- Restrooms in the snack bar building above the playground (via ramp or stairs)
- Drinking fountain on the playground
