It's huge and has a ton of features including a modified merry-go-round, spinning seat, a rock wall, several very cool tube slides, and some unique climbing features. 










Next to the playground is this huge covered pavilion with restrooms and a concession stand. 























There are 2 sling swings, an expression swing, and an adaptive swing.








The back part of the playground is open to the ball fields, but it's fenced in by the parking lot.
