Eastside Neighborhood Park

Eastside Neighborhood Park

Eastside Neighborhood Park got an overhaul! The new design leaves plenty of green space for running around, leaves the community garden, replaced the little kid playground and created a big kid place area. It also added a big kid play area and adult exercise equipment. The new play structures are built in the new style that gives kids freedom to explore in different ways rather than use it for one intended design, but it does keep the rubber mat for impacts. 

Little Kid Play Area

The little kid (2-5) play area is now fully fenced with one entrance and exit. This area is nicely shaded under oaks. There are two baby swings and a larger bucket swing for multiple kids. The play structure has a regular slide, a tunnel slide, and several climbing places. There are multiple benches as well as small picnic tables here.

Big Kid Play Area

The new big kid play area (5-12) is also fully fenced with one entrance and exit. It does not have trees to shade it but it does have a nice shade canopies. There are no swings, but a number of different climbing parts are much more explorational play. The benches in this prayer are often in full sun.

There are now bathrooms with a cool mural on the walls. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked on the day we were here.

Pros: 

*my big kid really loved the new climbing structures 

* there are bathrooms

* 2 divided areas for big and littles have plenty of space

* there's still plenty of green open space.

Bathrooms

Cons: 

* the little kid play structure might not hold the attention of kids for very long. 

* People looking for a sandpit or big kid swings need look elsewhere.
