Spacious neighborhood playground with button-controlled sprinklers, donated play equipment, clean restrooms, and pram-friendly access. A community favorite for motor skill development and active play.

“such a cute playground with toys for all the children to use! sprinklers with a button so you can turn them on when you need it, allowing the ability to have sprinklers and the ability to conserve water when not in use! they also have bathrooms that are mostly clean (for a park bathroom)”

“Such a great option for the neighborhood. Obviously the donation toys aren't in the best condition but they are there if you need them. Pidgin chasing is a great form of exercise!”
