Overall assessment: This is a lovely little park with big shady trees in a quiet area. This playground is not awesome for little ones who might fall out of openings.

They can easily get up using the steps but it is a little hard to get them out and once they are up everything is kind of high. The hill behind the climber is good fun for little ones though.

The playground is great for kids beyond the toddler years. My kids loved the slides – just on the verge of scary. The climber is all connected with a circular path so kids can run around and around high up.
