	Mr. Mom Don't take a 1-2 year old here. Lots of kids with tiny shards of broken glass under structures. Parking is also a bust. Guest

	Mr. Mom While I agree that the playground is excellent due to the location (near the high school and the north end)you do have to be careful...the spray pool almost always has broken glass in it that does not get swept out before they turn the sprinklers on. Guest

	Mr. Mom Excellent playground and very popular. My only request would be for the city to plant a few more trees in area. There's not much useful shade anywhere close to the structures. (BTW I appreciate the list of playgrounds on this website. Very useful when we want to take our 2-year-old to a different spot for a change). http://northandagricola.blogspot.com Guest
