Overall assessment: This tot lot is smaller than playgrounds I normally review but it has a few features that I really like. It’s somewhat unusual in that it has two adult exercise stations right next to the playground. I really like the idea of being able to do some exercise while the kids play. The attractive rock wall helps keep the kids in making the space pretty safe too. The toddler climber is small but well thought out. The stairs provide a way to get up that even the youngest kids can use. Once there, there’s a music panel that is unlikely to break and a double slide to reduce fights. The climbing wall provides a challenge for the older toddler/preschoolers.

I wouldn’t really recommend travelling very far to get to this playground but it’s a great example of what you can do with a small space and a small budget.
