White Birch Park has 3 separate playgrounds. The first one is next to the lower level of the Hazelwood civic center. It is a toddler playground with 3 small slides, a tic tac toe board, and a small bridge. There is a map of the United States painted next to the playground but it's seen better days. 







The second playground is located next to the pool. This playground is mainly for older kids and has several slides that are high off the ground and a glider handle. It has a rock wall, zipline, bouncing step, maze board, tunnel, bench, and lots of bars and poles. 




The third playground is located next to the pedestrian entrance to the park (from the adjoining neighborhood).  You can also reach it from a path leading away from the pool toward the neighborhood. It is an older play structure and good for toddlers, preschool and school-aged kids. It's not as tall as the previously discussed playground. It has some slides, a teeter totter, a pretend window, a steering wheel, 2 speakers, and lots of bars and poles.

The skate park is near the entrance to the park across from the pool complex. There is no attendant on duty. Users are encouraged to wear helmets. Helmets may be rented from the Community Center for $1.00.
