Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

From the website: "Tucked away in a sheltered wooded corner next to Dardenne Creek, Dardenne Park provides visitors with an expansive new playground, a paved pedestrian trail, and quick access to an 18-hole municipal golf course." 

When you arrive you park and then walk down a secluded path. There is a creek here that is small and easy to get to if your kids want to play in it. 

 It's a nice peaceful walk to the playground

We really enjoyed this playground because it has some neat features that you don't see very often. The hippo was a big hit!

 There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. 

 The baby area has a small structure with just a slide and some bars, but it also has a pirate ship!

 The big play structure has several slides, a bridge, a pretend storefront, a musical board, stepping stones, a bubble window, steering wheel, abacus board, and lots of bars and poles.

 You don't see an abacus board very often

 There is one picnic table and several benches scattered around

It's a shame there aren't any restrooms here because this playground is really charming and fun.
