Location: Spencer St. & A St., just east of Front St.
Date visited: 6/16/12
Equipment: Two zones (one on each side of rec center)
- Small kids' zone: 3 bucket swings, 1 strap swing, low climbing playlet with jointed bridge, low metal slides (one single, one double (with end too far off ground...))
- Bigger kids' zone: impressively large, with spiral metal slide and three straight metal slides, high solid bridge, long stretch of monkey-bar rings (plus a short stretch under the bridge, though some missing there), many climbing apparatus including 2 submarine-style, metal "rope-net", fireman's pole, bench underneath, footstools
Surface: rubbery surrounded by blacktop
Shade(0-3): 0 (recently-cut large tree in small kids' zone removed only shade source)
Water: Maybe? (there's a spaceship-like structure with a drain surrounded by cement walls, but no obvious spray nozzle visible)
Other: grassy park, rec center, basketball, tennis, baseball (near and far off), football, concession stand, mural (from era preceding Mural Arts Program)
Access: open access, so presumably dawn to dusk
Impressions: Great setting in a large open space with long vistas and broad expanses of grass, nice equipment in good shape, little trash. Good for a range of ages, maybe in combination with a picnic. Clearly lots of athletic league and activities here, probably a big neighborhood draw, worth a stop if you're in the area.
Overall rating: 8
