Railroad Playground

“Chill park, pretty big-medium sized really. Some times during the summer they turn the water on in the playground section for the kids. Swings, slides and jungle gym, several basketball courts and handball courts.”

“Very nicely upkept park with a large playground set for all ages, and 4x full basketball courts and tennis court right next to it.”

“I remember when they did the renovation on this park and it became the Railroad Playground. I also do wish that they would reinstall regular swings in the park. The swings WERE there when the park was renovated and they got plenty of usage, but over the years all of them have been replaced by the bucket-style toddler swings. (Unfortunately this has become a common trend in parks across the city for reasons that are still unclear.) Overall the renovation was a definite upgrade and the theme is well done, from the water tower sprinkler to the iron train silhouettes incorporated into the fence. I love anything and everything to do with railroads so seeing these details always make me smile. It's located in a relatively quiet industrial area with plenty of trees around the perimeter and has plenty of benches to sit on that are well-maintained.”

“The playground is nice. It could be cleaner. It's an otherwise nice area to sit and talk. There was a nice basketball game going on. It was very calm and peaceful.”
