Florissant redid this playground in 2021. It is a huge improvement over the old one. It has 2 separate play structures, one for bigs and one for littles.  The John F. Kennedy Community Center is located here and they have a ton of great events throughout the year. The new splash pad is amazing! One of the best in North County for sure.
