Location: 68th at Regent
Date visited: 9/14/12
Equipment: Long thin playspace with two main play zones and a water zone:
- Larger playset has high and low metal slides, arched monkey bars, and a fireman's pole. Also 6 strap swings here.
- The smaller playset has two medium metal slides. Also in this area is a double "space-pod" climbing structure with a connecting bridge, and 4 bucket swings.
- Water zone = a single pole sprayer (many holes at various heights, but not on at the time of our visit) surrounded by cement.
Ages: 1-10 (& skateboard zone)
Surface: rubbery; blacktop
Shade(0-3): 2
Water: Y
Other: basketball, skateboard park, grassy areas, ball fields, overview of train tracks, picnic tables, rec. center
Access: not closed (dawn to dusk?)
Impressions: The combination of a sunken skateboard park and a shaded play area give this park/recreation space a lot of appeal. It seems nicely maintained and is pleasantly sandwiched between a low-rise neighborhood and a woodsy stretch of track. Worth a stop if you're in the area (especially if skateboarders are practicing their tricks).
Overall rating: 8
