Dade Park playground was replaced in 2024, and it was much needed! The new playground is so much better.

The new playground is on poured rubber, and has so many great features including some umbrellas for shade.

The play structure has tunnels, slides, speakers, drums, a rock wall, a webbed climber, tic-tac-toe board, and plenty of bars and poles for climbing.  There are no restrooms here.

 Physical Fitness area

 

There is a pavilion right next to the playground but I didn't see restrooms nearby. I think there is a concessions building straight ahead but don't know if they have restrooms and the hours that they are open, if so. 

                  

The playground was renovated in 2021 and it's a huge improvement. 

The smaller structure is for little kids under 2 and it has a slide and a speaker.

There are 4 sling swings here but no baby swings

Modified merry-go-round

The larger structure has several slides, a bridge, lots of climbers, chain climbers, stepping stones, and lots of bars and poles.
