Simply put; this playground makes you want to be a kid again!

What an awesome experience for children attending that school & in the neighborhood! Great that this valuable park doesn't require a joint use agreement to access=)

I knocked the accessibility rating only because it belongs to a school and is enclosed in a gate, yet remains open constently. It's got cover, basketball, playpin, sand lot, and the works. I would never go to class if I were attending school there.

Currently 5.0/5 stars.
