PLAYSCAPE SURFACE:
Mulch and some grass in the enclosed space.
BATHROOMS (BECAUSE POTTY TRAINING HAPPENS):
Super close to the playground, but a bit 'rustic,' if you will.
PARKING:
Parking can be a bit of a problem since many of the spots are reserved for the community center.
EXTRAS:
There is a portion of the playground that has an obstructed view of those under 3 feet, so if you're a helicopter Mom with a tiny tot, you may not feel comfortable.
Not a whole lot of shade on the toddler playscape so the equipment can get a bit warm.
Nearby baseball field(s)
