Gordie’s Review (4 years old): ”What was the best part?” “The firetruck!”
Nicky’s Review (14 months): Loved getting on and off of the bouncer.
Age Range: 0 – 8
Ground cover: Pea gravel
Shade: Decent shade in the nearby park area, but not too much in the park itself. There’s a little bit of shade created by the playground equipment.
Surrounding park area: Small park area with some green space for running around.
Seating: Accessibility: No wheelchair access. There is a bouncer, and three kinds of swings for kids who benefit from vestibular stimulation.
Features: Large climber with slides, 4-seater motorcycle bouncer, 3 swings (1 baby, 1 saucer), 1 firetruck climber
Overall Assessment: This newly built playground isn’t huge, but it is has a lot to offer. Gordie loved playing firefighter with the firetruck and then running around the rest of the playground putting out the ‘fires’.
Nicky loved bouncing on one of the motorcycles and then moving over to the next one to try that one out too. This is a lovely community playground and a great playground to take the kids to if you are in the neighborhood.
