Review:

Stop by the Oakley/South AVL library for their story time, and then afterwards let the kids play at the playground conveniently located next door. 





The colorful rockers are a highlight for the younger crowd along with the sandbox.





There are swings for all to enjoy. 





There are a several slides of varying heights. 





There's a variety of options from steps to ladders and even monkey bars to make your way to the top.  





There is a large covered picnic pavilion as well as multiple uncovered picnic tables scattered throughout the park.  





There is a nice tennis court with benches and a water fountain. 





There is a large baseball field as well as a basketball court to enjoy brushing up on skills.
