Review:

Located right next to the WNC Nature Center, we highly enjoyed playing at the Rec Park Playground. With various slides, a tunnel, fireman pole, monkey bars, sand pit, climbing dome, and swings, there was plenty to do. One of the most unique features I found on this playground was a state capital spinner panel.  





There were both picnic tables and benches conveniently located which was huge plus. The only drawback was the public bathrooms were not super close by and are closed during the colder months.
