Location: This is a large neighborhood park, which is located next to an Elementary School. There is plenty of parking. There is a pavilion with shaded tables. There is no view to speak of, but the park does border Big Dry Creek.
Dad's Score:5
Cleanliness/Safety: This is a large, popular park. Because of this, there was some litter scattered about. There were also some older teens hanging out by there cars in the parking lot playing very loud music. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but my 7 year old was very curious as to what those kids were doing. There were garbage cans, portapotties, and a drinking fountain available. The surface was partially covered by rubber covering, and the other part was covered by wood chips.
Dad's Score: 5
Uniqueness: This park definitely had some cool equipment going for it. It looks like it has been recently updated with new equipment. There was a vertical spinner, which was also a big hit at Quail's Crossing park. There was also a cool spinner/bouncer that I seemed to think was much more fun than my kids did. There were plenty of things to climb, as well as the usual slides and monkey bars.
Dad's Score: 6
Age Appropriateness: This playground had enough to keep both kids busy. They spent time fighting over the vertical spinner, but each was able to find other equipment to fill their needs as well.
Dad's Score: 7
Fun: Both kids had a lot of fun. They seemed to spend more time on the newer equipment, but the old section held their attention for a while as well.
Dad's Score: 7
Final Scores:
Dad's: 30/50
