The Stieren Family Playground opened at the end of 2018 and has some unique features. It's located right across the road from the ball fields. The centerpiece of the playground is a concrete tugboat with a steering wheel and slides. Also, see if you can find all the cute animals on it!

There are 2 baby swings and 6 sling swings. 

The 100-foot zipline is awesome!

Next to the playground are 2 small covered pavilions. 

Another cool feature is the half-mile trail through the woods with fitness equipment. 

They added regular playground equipment during 2023. There is a free-standing web spinner, a modified merry-go-round, and 2 very tall play structures with climbing netting in between. 

Sand diggers

Free-standing rock wall

They build a new restroom building at the entrance by the parking lot sometime during 2023. This is a great addition and there are also water fountains.
