Slater Memorial Park

I have taken the kids to the playground in Slater Memorial Park three or four times, with today being the latest.

It is not a large playground, which is actually good because it makes it easier to keep track of the kids. There are two entrances but both are on the same side of the park. There is a nice fence around the playground. It has a rock climbing wall, swings, a large and small climbing structure, some picnic tables and two rope climbing structures, for a lack of knowing a specific name for these.

I've never seen these rope climbing structures anywhere else, but I think their pretty cool. Basically there is a steel tube frame with tightly strung ropes criss-crossing between or around the frame. Where the ropes cross, there are metal connectors. My boys really like to climb them, especially my oldest.

A couple of negative points - there are no bathrooms within a short distance and there are no lights for when it gets dark. There are bathrooms within walking distance but if your kid waits until they've really got to go, your best bet is the trees on one side of the park.

Overall, I rate this playground an 8 out of 10. Give it a try some time.
