Ayrlawn Park
The Equipment
Kids love to scramble up the giant faux rock on the main piece of equipment, then take the tall fireman pole or one of the four slides down. Also within the wood-chipped playground is a tire swing, climbing piece, merry go round, zip line, three-piece toddler train set, a springy seesaw and two spring riders, plus four regular, one bucket, and one adaptive swing.
The Scene
Park at the YMCA building and head behind it and down the hill, past a basketball court and two tennis courts to the playground. This not-fenced playground is set back far from any roads, giving some peace of mind to parents of runners. The playground abuts a wooded area, which provides some shade and also draws kids in to connect with nature. There are no picnic tables, but plenty of grass for a blanket picnic.
Age Recommendation: All
Restrooms: None; the YMCA building is not for general use.
