Playground ground cover: Poured rubber, wood chips, and pea gravel

This park has a lot of tall trees and shade. The restrooms have changing tables and are located near the playgrounds. 

There are 2 separate playgrounds. The larger one is for older children, it has several tall/long slides, lots of platforms to climb on, a drum wall, spinning discs, and a swing set with 4 sling swings, a baby swing, and an adaptive swing. The ground cover is poured rubber.

There is also a creek that runs right next to the playground.

There are so many opportunities for imaginative play here! From stepping stones to a pretend window, steering wheels, speakers, binoculars, bridges, tunnels, and maze boards, you're sure to find something the kids will love. 

The second playground is older but has some unique pieces. There's an old school metal silo with a slide and a plastic dinosaur slide. The ground cover is wood chips. The metal monkey bar has pea gravel for the ground cover.

Little Free Library

Nice firepit area!

The restrooms are on the parking lot and it's next to the pavilion and playground, so very convenient for parties. There's also a huge green space for running and playing games.
