Turner Park, Rock Hill

                            


Location: 305 Eldridge Ave., Rock Hill, MO 63119

Website: https://www.rockhillmo.net/parks-recreation-department/pages/rock-hill-city-parks

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This park was renamed in 2018 from Greenwood Park to Turner Park after a famous resident.  It's a small little pocket park with one play structure, 2 sling swings, a small pavilion, and a basketball court.


The play structure has a steering wheel, slides, a chain climber, and various bars and poles. I didn't see any restrooms.















In 2024 they added this astroturf hill and slide which is way more fun than the boring steps that used to be here.

Hacienda Restaurant Playground, Rock Hill



Location: 9748 Manchester Rd., Rock Hill, MO 63119

Website: https://www.haciendastl.com/

Hacienda added an outdoor playground in mid-2024. This is a great idea to keep the kids engaged while the parents enjoy a nice meal. It's not really a great playground for toddlers though, as there are climbing parts that go pretty high. It has a rubber chip flooring so it is cushy and soft if they fall. There is a spider web made of rope,  2 wooden pyramid structures that kids can climb, and some wood stumps. There are a bunch of picnic tables and benches with umbrellas so you can eat outside and watch the kids play. It is enclosed with a fence as it's close to the parking lot and faces Manchester Rd.
