Paul Sanders Park

We had our hope up for this one. The trees in this park are gorgeous and provide plenty of shade. The location is great. Being one of the few playgrounds in the area, it’s an okay place to bring your kids, if you live close by. I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to bring my kids here. It has two mediocre play structures that look like they where installed in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. There are no climbing or spinning structures or monkey bars. There isn’t a slide over 4 feet high. There are a few sets of swings, but the regular swings are so low that most kids over 7 will have a hard time using them. This place will do for kids under 7, older than that and the kids will probably be bored in a very short time. My son said it would be fun for run around play because of the trees, but he and his friends would probably not use the playground equipment.

This is my favorite park to take my girls to. The whole park is covered by trees, so even on a hot day, it’s enjoyable and (somewhat) cool. Most importantly, my girls wont burn their butt/​legs trying to go down the slide. There’s an area for bigger kids and a playground for smaller kids with signs indicating which is which. The park has 3 covered areas that you can rent out for parties and there’s plenty of lawn which would allow for a jumpy castle. It’s right off of a main road, but it sits lower than the street so it’s still very much private.
