Shade: Minimal shade from some small trees and the school itself.  

Seating: Several benches.  
Accessibility: Accessible flooring throughout. Musical features accessible from the ground level.  

Overall assessment:

This playground is truly enormous. There are unique features such as a rope ladder leading to a rope bridge, and monkey bars that each swing back and fourth individually.

I liked that the smaller structure is right next to the large one, so it would be relatively easy to watch two kids of different ages. The playground is so big, it took my 3-year-old a long time to explore it.

I also liked all the different types of climbers and bridges. This playground has features we haven’t seen elsewhere, which made it more fun.
