Reviews
It’s a small playground with swings and couple of slides. If you drive don’t expect to find a parking spot around. The playground is located between Rapelye St & Woodhull St and hard to notice
Fun playground! They have excellent baby swings with a high back so you can put smaller babies in there and it supports them. Watch out for teenagers hanging out there on weekday afternoons smoking.
Great maritime themed playground. Very clean and there are restrooms. Not huge but two full jungle gyms that look like boats and a giant compass inlay on the ground. I found parking nearby , but it was a Sunday. There is another playground across the street as well, but it was closed. Near the highway.
Not always properly cleaned & maintained facility, nice small quaint playground for young kids to play if your in the area & need to kill some time with kids & wanna have them burn some energy & run around for a little while.
As evidenced by two inscriptions of the Cool S within the playground you may rest assured your people are always close.
