Ponderosa Park

• • The Largest Wooden Structure

    • This structure is best for kids who are experienced climbers. The toddlers (3 & under) may have a little more difficulty climbing up on some of the platforms, depending on their size. There were no stairs, only platforms and ladders to climb up. This was an older wooden structure and is on a sand surface.

  • The Small Wooden Structure

    • This structure is made of wood and placed on sand. There is a medium sized metal slide which a toddler may be willing to try. There was a large ladder which would probably be difficult for a child under 4. The platform to get up to the slide was also rather tall, so a child under 3-4 years may have difficulty and will need parental assistance.

  • Stagecoach

    • The Stagecoach playground was a cute addition to this park. It is made of plastic and located on a rubberized surface. I think that this equipment is best for the younger kids (4 & under). However, there are 2 grooves in the side of the stage coach for them to use as a ladder. My 22 month old had difficulty doing this without my assistance. The slide is safe for them, and my child had a great time on this. Plus, for the older kids, it allows for some imaginative play.

  • Riding/Rocking Toys

    • There is a circle of 5 rocking/riding animals for the children. These 5 toys are facing each other so that the kids can rock together. This provides for creative and imaginative play. The toys in the circle are 3 horses, a rooster, and a donkey. On the outskirts of the playground, you can find more rocking toys – a zebra, rooster, and 2 horses.

  • Cannons

    • There are 2 cannons for the kids to climb on.

• SHADE LEVEL

  • • There was no shade directly over the playground. There are trees surrounding the equipment. However, be sure to bring the sunscreen.

• SEATING

  • • There were 5 benches located around the playground. Depending on the time of day that you visit the park, these benches may or may not be protected from the sun.
