Playground Ground Cover: Rubber chips

There's no signage for this small pocket park. I think there used to be one, but now it's just two poles with no sign. There's a small shelter, but no picnic table and no restrooms either. 


The play structure is older, and has a rock wall, some slides, a steering wheel, a bridge, 
a maze board, and drums.
