Butternut Park - Playground Park

Description

Butternut Park features a large playground with two separate area in a small and shady location. Near the entrance is a set of elements for older children including some monkey bars and slides as well as a large rope/net climbing structure. Near the back of the park is a smaller structure for younger children and a set of toddler swings. There are also the standard swings (toddler, adaptive, and belt seat) and a few standalone elements. The site itself is located in the middle of a residential block and is fully enclosed. The main play surface is wood chips though there is a grassy area as well. There aren't formal benches but low walls throughout the site provide some seating and large, mature trees provide shade. All things considered, this is a good neighborhood playground.
