Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This playground has a woodland theme. It was installed in late 2014 and has a lot of fun features.  There are ramps that make it inclusive but I didn't see any adaptive swings. There are 2 sling swings, 2 baby swings, bridges, a tree hideout, many slides, a spinning chair, climbing walls, tunnels, tree stumps to walk on, and 2 bouncing things. There is a small pavilion nearby and they built restrooms in 2017.

This is the largest park in U city and it's a busy place. It is named after U City's second mayor, August Heman. Much of the park used to be a landfill. There are 2 playgrounds, and unfortunately, they're not right next to each other like they normally are. There are numerous slides, swings, monkey bars, and all the usual equipment you'd expect to see.

Bathrooms

6 sling swings

From the smaller kids playground you can see the bigger kids playground in the background. I'm not sure why they're so spread apart?

4 Baby Swings

Heman park also has a pool that is open to everyone. You can see that post here.
