Playground Ground Cover: Astroturf
This is a small pocket park that was renovated in 2019. The best part is that they added a small splash pad! The splash pad is only open seasonally, May 15-September 30 each year, weather permitting. It has a timer that allows park users to press a foot button located next to the splash pad. It can be activated between the hours of 10am -7 pm. It is on a sequencer that will run 3 nozzles for a minute, then another 3 nozzles for a minute; then it shuts off. The user will need to press the nozzle again to continue play. The splash pad also has a sensor to prevent activation during rain or freezing weather (should that occur prior to September 30th).
They don't have a designated parking lot for this park, so parking can be tricky. There are probably 10 spaces available on the street and after that, you'll have to walk maybe a block.
This gym station can accommodate 5 different people at a time and has 12 different workout features.
These balls on the hill are unique and different. Lots of creative ways to play here.
The modified merry-go-round web spinner is always a hit at the playground.

Berliner created this playground and they have very unique equipment. They call this a DNA tower, which is a 3-dimensional climbing net stretched inside steel skeletons.
Rope bridge
Bouncy net
All in all this new play equipment is phenomenal. It's just such a shame that there is no bathroom here. If you don't live in the neighborhood I have no idea where you would go to find a restroom. I guess find a business on Clayton or Big Bend. Hopefully, they'll add one someday!
