Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

This playground was redone in 2018. The old playground desperately needed to be replaced and this new one is awesome! They got rid of the dreaded pea gravel and replaced it with poured rubber. They also added an expression swing and a zipline!

 There is playground equipment spread out everywhere, not the usual one for bigs and one for littles configuration. They have a small slide, a spinning seat, a rope climber, a rock wall climber, a zip line, swings, and a spray pole.

They have an adaptive swing, a baby swing, and 2 sling swings at the playground proper. There are older ones down the path in the shade as well.

The bathrooms are still old with no doors on the stalls, but at least they have them.
