Worth visiting!
A review of this place: Three playgrounds, actually.
They don’t seem to have distinctive names, so I’ll just describe them as best I can.
1. The Big Playground. Big, but not too big. Lots of equipment, geared to bigger (age 5+) kids. Sometimes overcrowded. Two big umbrellas offer much-needed shade in either corner of the playground, although, the rest of the playground can get somewhat hot. A big sand area at the back of the playground, with generally clean sand.
2. The Smaller Playground. Gearer towards the little guys, with one small play structure and four safety swings behind a gate. Very shady, even on hot days, and often near-empty.
3. The Sandy Playground. Across the path from the big playground, next to the benches and picnic tables. Sandy area with old-fashioned “jungle gym” climbing structures and four more safety swings (not behind a gate). The sand makes it tough to wheel a stroller in, but plenty of benches and usually shady.
Overall, this is probably my favorite playground(s) so far.
