Playground ground cover: Wood chips and astroturf
This park has our favorite splash pad in the area! There are numerous water features, including arches, buckets, a "spider web," fountains, a mushroom/umbrella, and a creek. The water pools about two inches after the fountains have been running, so there is water to splash in as well.
Adjacent to the sprayground are two jungle gyms, one for toddlers and one for older children. The ground cover for these is astro turf, which heats up quickly, so make sure to put your shoes back on before playing! The sprayground is very popular, and parking can be a challenge, especially on weekends when sports teams are playing on the many fields at the park.
There is also a full-sized playground (with wood chips for ground cover), within walking distance of the sprayground. A walk over there to play is a good way to dry off! It has two sling swings, two baby swings, and an adaptive swing. There are several slides (including a racing slide), a rock-climbing wall, and some musical instruments. There are two structures on this playground, one suitable for preschoolers but still too big for toddlers, and the other for older children.
The park grounds are extensive and well-cared for. There are many pavilions, as well as baseball/softball and soccer fields, and a walking trail. As I mentioned earlier, when games are in play, it's very crowded, and you sometimes have to park a considerable distance from the sprayground or playground. However, during the week, you can usually park quite close to either.
This park is huge, so this map may help you find your way around.
This playground has slides, rock walls, musical instruments, a bubble window, and bars and poles.
This is the playground next to the splash pad. It's great for climbing!
The creek is very long, filled with really deep areas that a toddler can fit in. Kids love stepping from stone to stone and playing in the puddles.
This is the exercise station with strength training, stretching, and cardio equipment.
