Austin Foster Park - Playground

Description

Austin Foster Park - aptly named because it is at the corner of Austin and Foster Ave - is a moderately large park with a few athletic fields and a nice playground. The playground is located at the park's southern edge and features two sprawling structures with lots of equipment.

The non-play amenities include benches, a drinking fountain, and a picnic table. The location is right off a busy stretch of Foster Ave, so there is a fair amount of street noise. The play surface is wood chips and there the playground is fenced from Foster but not fully enclosed. All in all, despite the location, this is a good playground with lots of play elements.
