Playground ground cover: rubber mats, wood chips, sand

This is a great park often referred to as just Rocket Park because it's all space-themed. The rocket slide is huge, almost 3 stories! There are sling swings, an adaptive swing, and baby swings. They have a sand area, a digging toy, a bouncy thing that resembles the space shuttle, a car kids can "ride in", a rock wall, and more. Bathrooms and a nice covered pavilion are close. The sign says for 5 and up because it is so tall but my 3-year-old enjoys it. They also have a teeter-totter that he really likes. There is a snack station here where you can buy things like sno cones, pretzels, hot dogs, etc. but they are usually only open when games are happening.
