Review:


With beautiful mountain views and a peaceful creek to play in, you'll find this playground in Barnardsville. 






As you pull in, you'll pass a basketball court, pool, and sand volleyball court before arriving to the playground. 






There are several slides along with different types of monkey bars and a tunnel.






My daughter was excited to test out all the various ways to climb up to the slides. 






We opted to skip the swings as both kids were wearing shorts and they were burning to the touch. 


On the right hand side of this picture, you'll see a path. We followed that down to the water. 










There's a large covered pavilion with picnic tables as well as two closer to the creek. 






This spot was so peaceful and serene. We enjoyed skipping rocks and wading up to our ankles for quite some time before finally heading back for a few more slides on the playground.
