β€œPLAYGROUND TIME πŸ› I’m not someone who frequents playgrounds but I happen to walk through and decided β€œhey, I might as well review it!” From the looks of it, seems like a really fun playground. I didnt jump around or swing or climb as I think that’s mostly for children but I could imagine it being fun for a child at this location!! (I didn’t ask any of the children their thoughts on the structure) My only offer of improvement would be to build a separate section for adults to play on because that’s something I would enjoy and would use. Thanks! Have a great day.”

β€œIt is a cute little park with a small water feature, sand pit and bathroom facility. I love the little car garage feature, but it does require you to BYO toys.”
