Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips

This park has something for everyone. There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings on one swingset, and 3 sling swings on an older swing set. They have a cool merry-go-round where you sit in different colored seats and they spin around. The play structure has a bouncy step, a tunnel, 2 slides, and a "telephone" feature where you talk in one and the other person can hear you on the other one. The pavilion and bathrooms are right there.

      

The play structure looks like the mast of a pirate ship. It has a huge net you can climb to get to the top, or a rock wall on the other side. 

As of early 2023, there is a great addition of a splash pad and a new play structure. Push the button on the black pole to turn the water on.

The playground was found to be rotting due to flooding so it was ripped out in September 2023. The new one is huge and has something for every age group. 

There are 3 ziplines, including one that is ADA-compliant with a high-backed chair.

The Arnold Farmer's Market is right at the entrance to the left. 

 The dog park is near the back of the park

 There are 4 large pavilions spread throughout the park.

 The restroom building looks old but it's clean inside.
