Playground ground cover: Poured rubber and astroturf

This park features a huge playground, with areas for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. The playground and splashpad were redone in late 2024 and the new playground is just incredible. 



Old playground


I love that they added this new restroom building right next to the playground because the old playground didn't have a restroom nearby. It was all the way up the hill and not convenient. That one is still there but it's nice that they have this new one too. 


Sensory area with musical instruments, instrument boards, and more. 





Tilt this to make the balls move through the maze






There is an astroturf area with swings, a boulder, and a small webbed climber. 



There are 4 sling swings, an ADA swing, and a modified expression swing. 


Modified merry-go-round


The new 3 story play structure has lots of slides, ramps, a rock wall, a steering wheel,  hammocks, and tons of ways to climb. 








2 baby swings


The new splash pad. Can't wait to see it in the summer!







I love that they created these new areas at the top of the hill. They have one on each side, one with slides and the other with a webbed climber. 









Fun little manipulatives on each side of the ramp. 












Small covered pavilion near the playground and splashpad.



Free little library






Beautiful lake
