This newly renovated playground is a beauty! It was so bright and colorful. The
playground had all new equipment. The amount of climbing opportunities
seemed endless. They had multiple sections across the playground, some
geared for the 2-5 crowd and the taller section geared up to 12 years old. Big
slides, little slides and swings! Swings included a baby swing and an accessible
swing. This playground is next to paved trails so it may get a little crowded on the
weekends when people are using trails but there was only one family there on a
weekday. There is a pavilion next to the playground with picnic tables, which
provided some shade. The rest of the playground has really little shade and is
very hot on a summer day. Winter or Spring would be an awesome time to visit
when you’re chilly and wanting those sunrays to keep everyone warm.
Parking is on the street and near a neighborhood. Heurich Playground is only 5
minutes so it makes a nice 2 in 1 visit when you are in the area. Sidenote: There is a lot of trash around this playground.
