Tex Spruiell Park
PARK REVIEW
This is a nice park in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s a fairly small park (9.8 acres), but it has a nice playground. The playground equipment is big, so there is a lot to do here. There is also an open field for playing sports, basketball goals, and a trail with exercise equipment along the path.
PARK HOURS – Closes at dusk

PLAYGROUND
There were 2 different sections of playground equipment in this one area. I will describe each separately:
Largest Playground Structure
This playground equipment is best for kids ages 4 and up because the stairs are too high for the little kids to get up without a parent’s assistance.
Playground Equipment
2 Bumpy Plastic Slides (side-by-side)
1 Curved Plastic Slide
Ladders
Spiral Pole
Bridge
Chain Ladder
Monkey Bars
Rock Wall
Climbing Aparatus
Smaller Playground Structure
This set is great for smaller kids because they can easily climb up onto it. The stairs are low enough for them to climb up by themselves.

There is not much shade here, so bring the sunscreen. There are a few trees around the edge of the playground that will cover the benches depending on what time of day you go. There is no shade directly over the playground equipment.
Seating
There are 3 benches (with some shade depending on the time of day that you go). There are also 2 tables at the playground.
