This playground was built in late 2020. This new park offers a little something for everyone, such as benches, shade, play features for toddlers and young children, and bicycle racks. The park was designed as a pocket park, with limited parking. People are strongly encouraged to walk, run, bike, or roll to this new park.  There are 4 parking spots if you want to drive over. 



The park is completely enclosed with a fence and gate. It has brand new restrooms and a covered pavilion. It has everything!





The toddler area has several cute little play structures with slides, music boards, maze boards, little picnic tables, an adorable little play house, rock wall, tunnel, modified merry-go-round, and 2 baby swings. 




How cute is this little house!





New restroom building and drinking fountain


The play structure for older kids is at the back of the park. It's 2 stories tall with slides, stepping stones, and lot of bars and poles.
