Review:

Located less than half a mile from Mission Hospital, you'll find a fun and modern looking playground.  

While there is no designated parking lot, there is plenty of street parking.  





What sets this park apart from others we've visited so far is the rope climbing structure that rewards your hard work with a fun slide down. Depending on the age of your child, it will require a lot of supervision and possibly even several boosts or two to help them get to the top.  





There is a smaller structure for younger ones with a tunnel as well as two different sets of slides to choose from as well. 





You will also find swings, benches, and picnic tables.
