Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

This is one of my favorite parks. It is shaded in summer and a great sledding hill for winter. The playground features a three-story structure with multiple slides, monkey bars, climbing ladders, and bridges. There is a toddler area set to the side, as well as a huge climbing rock and one of the spidery-rope-type structures. Swings are nearby and include big kid and baby swings. The park includes nearby ball fields and a pool during the summer months. This is a very large and busy park. 

The playground was updated with new 100% Missouri Recycled Scrap Tire surfacing and a new climbing net has been completed and reopened to the public on May 4, 2018.
