Review:


Behind the West Asheville Public Library you'll find this fun playground that my daughter has dubbed "the troll park." According to her, the color scheme and little house like structures make for a perfect place for trolls to live although she was quite disappointed we didn't encounter any while playing. 


This park took multiple return visits to finally catch it "empty" for pictures as it is quite popular with the locals and we can definitely see why.





Walking across the suspension bridge, you'll come to an enclosed green slide that's the highlight of the playground.

  




There are 3 swings in total: one regular, one infant, and a fun saucer web swing as well.





There is a smaller orange slide geared toward the younger crowd.
