Agnes Haywood Playground

“After the lark renovation it has a better more put together feel. Also they’re doing a good job at maintains the cleanliness. The bathrooms don’t look decrepit and it’s not cringe worthy when you walk inside. I saw another review that said the downside is that there’s no equipment for children under 5, although they do have the baby swings I feel as though this park is better the way it is and that it doesn’t really matter if kids under 5 have limited abilities this is a toddler and up park and if you value your kids safety when it comes to falling on the new concrete then you should keep them at home and bring them when they’re older or enjoy the baby swings. They also have the swing where you can lock in your child (disability) so that they can also enjoy themselves. There are new courts that now boast bleachers for our convenience. They have a nice array of exercise equipment that I feel are better than the standard ones they usually have in parks. This park also features a track and field for other games as well as a handball court. They have chess tables and nice scenery with seating. The water fountains are upgraded and now features a bottle refill option. I’ve also noticed that the park has been staying open later, I myself don’t find it alarming because for nights owls like me I enjoy walking across the street at night to take a stroll on the track or to swing on the swing.(note the swings feel as though they are made to suit 16 and under due to narrowness and short chain. So if your looking for the nice loose ones where you can swing high into the sky if your older than this is not the one)”

“The people are nice and you can go to work out, play soccer or basketball ball. Most days the park stays active. I feel safe letting my kids run free and enjoy the park.”

“It’s a very nice park in the neighborhood. I do wish that there was more activities for little children when it comes to this park. They only have one little jungle gym area along with a swing set. There’s no slides with the jungle gym. I feel this park is made for older kids and adults who are into sports /being physically active outdoors. This playground is also directly across the street from a school (just to keep in mind). They also have a work out area, hand ball court, track with soccer field and basketball court. Bathrooms are open and accessible, I’ve never took a look / gone in to make a review on how cleanly they keep the bathrooms.”

“It's fully re-renovated. Have all accessible and fully functional accommodations for all ages recreational and physical activities needed to improve every one's life, who are desirable to improve their health and lifestyles. It's very clean. Very convenient for the community. It's like going to the gym. Most importantly, this will keep the young children off the streets corners and will give them a opportunity to stay active and productive in a positive direction. Thank God for this milestone and I pray that this playground will be safe and use for the right purpose.”
