Comments: The play equipment is old but in excellent condition. The playground structures here have some unique features. First, the younger kids' play structure has a suspended bridge to walk accross. It also features 3 slides and one of the slides is a small cork-screw slide. The older kids' play structure has a tunnel on the upper level that kids climb through in order to reach a tall cork-screw slide. The research team loved playing on BOTH the play structures because of these unique features! There is shade near the play structures allowing parents to sit comfortably at shaded picnic tables while watching their little ones play. The water fountain is right by the play structures -- BUT NOT THE BATHROOM. The bathroom is more than walking distance away at the upper part of the park. This is an inconvenience but my research team simply "held it" until we were driving out and stopped at the restrooms. They are at the back side of the building next to the 2 baseball diamonds.

"I was more independent than any farmer in Concord, for I was not anchored to a house or farm, but could follow the bent of my genius, which is a very crooked one, every moment." - Henry David Thoreau
