Overall Assessment: Well, I’m not terribly impressed by this new equipment. I’m not sure when it was updated, but the equipment is fairly new. It is not a traditional playground with slides and tunnels and things like that – just things to climb on. My child was way too young for everything here as he needs help with footing on rock walls, cannot do monkey bars, and wants me to hold his hand on the balance beam. I like the field area, though. It is blocked by trees and not so large that it’s overwhelming. Definitely I should have brought a ball and then my son would have had a blast. That being said, I probably won’t come back here on my own for awhile.
