There is a huge slide where you have to either climb up rocks to get to the top or go up a huge set of stairs - very mountain climber-ish, but safe. They even have some play equipment that makes musical sounds. The ground is that rubbery surface that has some bounce to it. There's an area with small tables and it's covered, so there's always a little shade to be found. In the summer they have a splash pad fountain area. There's also a sports field at the park - a soccer/la cross field. I want to say it's turf, but not 100% sure. There are two parking lots and street parking for overflow.

Peanuts cooked right in their shells, hot sauces, cookies and meat products. Great stocking stuffer and gift ideas. Jewelry and clothing items, household decor and music.

I love those as I like borrowing a book and bringing one to give.
