Big Walnut Park
The Equipment
Big Walnut Park offers a play structure primarily for older kids, featuring a tall slide and climbing features that are set over mulch and rubber surfaces. Also appropriate for the younger set is a substantial sand play area with built-in digger. Big Walnut also offers a merry-go-round, though considerable muscle power will not generate great speed. The Park has no swings, but there is a large open field located behind the playground.
The Scene
Set on a residential street, the park is partially fenced and partially shaded. A gazebo near the entrance houses a picnic table. Benches, as well as trash and recycling receptacles, are available. Parking is on-street and is unmetered. The large tower located near the Park belongs to local public television station WETA.
Age Recommendation
All ages, though the playground structure is best for older preschoolers and up.
