Also known as "Gus' Playground and Theresa's Splash Pad" this space-themed playground in the city is from Unlimited Play.  There are lots of fun things to do here including musical instruments, a large spider web rope climber, 2 saucer swings, 2 adaptive swings, 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, a roller slide, a helicopter to play in, and multiple climbers and slides.
I just wish they had redone the bathrooms and the pavilion, they're old and showing their age. Adjacent to the playground is a fully stocked lake with a bridge, and an enclosed hockey rink.

 The splash pad is small but functional. 

 

I must say I'm a little disappointed in how run-down this park is getting. This playground is less than 5 years old and someone is destroying the fence and ripped off one of the xylophones. Not cool.
