This is one of the few playgrounds in the state that has a Liberty Swing. It's a great feature for adults in wheelchairs so they can swing with their kids. It does require a key though.

This playground is rather small, there is one play structure with some slides and a rock wall, and another play structure with some slides and bars and poles. There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings, a free standing climber, and another free standing slide. I didn't see any restrooms but there may be some over by the ball fields.
