Location: W 65th Ave and 2nd St.
Date visited: 6/16/12
Equipment:
- Small playset with miscellaneous climbing, fireman's pole, straight metal slide (wide) and pair of plastic slides. Room for 5 bucket slides but all missing
- Medium playset with miscellaneous climbing and 1 tall wavy plastic slide, solid bridge, 3 tic-tac-toe games, and 3 strap swings (plus space for one more but not even chains present)
Surface: rubbery surrounded by blacktop
Shade(0-3): 3 (very shady)
Water: Maybe? Sprinkler seemed to be present, but drain clogged when visited so it was just a swamp
Other: lots of grass with mature trees, basketball, small rec center, baseball and/or football?, soccer
Access: 6 AM-10 PM
Impressions: Lovely shaded setting surrounded by tree-filled lawn and athletic fields, in a tidy and attractive neighborhood, so it deserves better than its current underwhelming play offerings. The area designed for older kids offers nothing for anybody over 6 or 7 (despite it being posted as for ages 5-12), and has empty space where a couple of newer pieces could easily change that. The little kid zone has no swings and a swamp of broken sprinkler space (which also needs a surrounding wall), although the playset there is adequate. A playground in need of Councilmanic attention! (or local school partner...)
Overall rating: 4
