Playground Ground Cover: Poured rubber

There is a lot here to do for kids of all ages, including pretend windows, rock walls, chain climbers, a balance beam, a rolling log, a tunnel, a bridge, floating steps, and music instruments. The 2nd play structure (opened in June 2011) also has a couple slides and lots of things to climb and balance on. There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. The restroom is located right next to the playground, and the entire playground is fenced in to keep little ones from running too far. The shade umbrella is either too small or too high to provide much shade to the equipment and children.




All the rubber mats have been replaced with poured rubber in 2018.



The restroom building and drinking fountain are near the entrance.




There is a large covered pavilion right down the hill from the playground
