Location: Cayuga St. and Castor Ave.
Date visited: 8/4/11
Equipment:
- Little-kid play area in its own fenced-in area. Includes smallish platform-style playset with steps and 2 ladders (including a bigger-than-average quarter-barrel), "spaceship" with central ladder entry, free-standing tall metal turning slide that gave a particularly good ride, a bucket swing (1 missing), and 2 non-functioning "hobby horses" (too stiff)
- Bigger-kid play area (smallish): platform-style with 3 ladders, 2 slides (metal straight, plastic turning-style), and a set of monkey bars. Nearby are 8 (!) strap swings
- In between the two play areas is a large sprinkler/6-inch-deep wading pool (20-foot wide pool with a central sprinkler pole and one seal sprayer on the edge (another was broken)).
Ages:1-1/2 to 8 years
Surface: rubberized (worn) around play areas
Shade(0-3): 0
Water: Y (sprinkler/wading pool)
Other: Rec center, pool, baseball field
Access: rec center hours = 9 AM-10:30 PM in summer, 2-10:30 PM otherwise.
Impressions: Nice spread-out zone, and the wading pool is a big plus (though I might be biased by the fact that my daughter was super-into rollicking in shallow water on the day we visited). Equipment is a bit worn but fine -- nothing particularly novel, but good standard equipment (somewhat better offerings for smaller kids than bigger kids).
Overall rating: 7
