Reviews
Went and checked out this park because we found it on a list of parks that have tracks for cars. We were pleasantly surprised there was a track and so much more. There are multiple swings including different kinds for different needs. The playground had ramps and stairs. Also I loved the two tall slides that were accessible by basic stairs so my 22 month old could go on them. He loves big slides but a lot of playgrounds make it hard to get up to them.

Really nice remodel of this long standing RM park. Highly recommend for younger children. Big slides, accommodating swing set and soft ground throughout with plenty of benches and tables to sit with full view of fully enclosed park area.
