College Gardens Park
The Equipment
With a rubbery surface underneath, this playground features a giant web climber, a four-person bouncy seesaw, a springy motorcycle, seven swings (two regular, two adaptive, two bucket, and one tire), plus one large and one small structure. The large structure includes a rock wall and four slides and does not have a lot of high openings so is fairly safe for littler kids. The smaller structure has two slides and a short tunnel.
The Scene
Less than a half mile off Route 355, the playground is surrounded by trees, making for good shade. It’s set back from the road, but there is a beautiful storm water management pond nearby so kids who wander should be watched closely. Around the pond: a paved path, two viewing overlooks, and a bridge. Water sprays from the center of the pond, but it’s not to play in. Next to the pond is a large gazebo with picnic tables and a sand volleyball court. Further on is a pair of basketball courts and a few fields that lead right to College Gardens Elementary School. There is no parking lot but side street parking is close to the playground.
