The playground design was based on input from neighbors and includes state-of-the-art play equipment that is accessible to children of all abilities. The playground has separate play structures for 2-5 year-olds and 5-12 year-olds, featuring a curved climbing wall and a wobble sphere. The project also included adding a picnic shelter with 4 tables and installing benches at the basketball court.
