Surrounding Park Area: Large greenspace with lots of rocking wooden benches and tons of trees…it’s so romantic
Shade: lots and lots of shade!! LOTS AND LOTS!!
Seating: yes, benches
Stroller/Wheelchair Access: I would say no for a wheelchair, yes for an all-terrain stroller.
Safety: It’s a wooden playground so be careful of splinters. Also, the equipment is mostly metal, so beware of the heat. A good thing is that it is so shaded, so the equipment doesn’t get that hot, even in the brutal heat of the summer.
Cons: No bathrooms or water fountains.
Overall Assessment: Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood, this playground is a respite of relief from the hustle and bustle that surrounds the area. If you want a playground where you can explore and go on nature walks with your kids (there is a creek!) as well as enjoy some equipment, this is for you. Piedmont Park is right down the street, but seriously, this is wonderful. The trees are huge and mature which lends to tons of shade. The playground is lovely and full of things to do. I love this playground and it doesn’t help that the neighborhood is full of amazing homes either. I can dream, right?? J
