Climbing STructure

• • There are other unique features about this playground that made it very fun!

• Concrete Slide

  • • The concrete slide is a large slide built into the side of a hill. You sit on cardboard to slide down it. The kids throw sand on the slide first for a slicker, faster ride. Get in line, because this is the main attraction at this playground, and it's usually crowded.

• Carousel

  • • A beautiful carousel built in 1912. The price was $2.00 per ride. Young children (ages 4 & under) can ride free with a paying adult.

• Wave

  • • There are two giant waves, perfect for a good climb. Around the waves are statues of turtles, pelicans, and crabs.

• Swing Sets

  • • The swing sets are in the big playground area, but set farther back from the large play structures.

      • 4 Baby Swings

      • 4 Big Kid Swings
