“Nice park. Love that it’s gated and that the gate is usually closed”
David Cooper
“Cool, new modern playground. It's not huge, but good assortment of interesting climbing, swinging, and moving elements. 2 regular swings, a toddler swing and a big three-point harness swing. Two slides - one big kid, one little kid. The big kid one is T the top of a two-tiered rope tower. There's a spinning rope sphere, monkey bars, and a tube zip line. The small kid metal slide is on a nice-sized astroturf hill with a tunnel underneath. Under the swings it's bouncy rubber and there's lush mulch under the climbing areas. Everything is in brand new condition. Trees around the playground are fairly young so not huge, but there is some shade. Parking nearby is a question mark. Easy for now while construction is underway nextdoor but unclear how it will be in the future.”

Overview
This gated playground earns repeat visits for its well-thought-out equipment mix. The centerpiece is a two-tiered rope tower with a big-kid slide at the top. Younger children get a dedicated little-kid slide and a toddler swing, alongside two standard swings and an oversized three-point harness swing. The gate typically stays latched, giving parents peace of mind. The surrounding Parks at Walter Reed campus hosts weekend events including outdoor yoga, fitness classes, and a monthly flea market.
