Description

Renovated in 2015, the playground at the Essex Park contains a modern play structure some some standard equipment (slides, climbing structures, monkey bars) as well as some more interesting equipment (an overhead slider and a 'top and bottom' spinner). There is also a standard set of swings nearby. The play area is fenced but not fully enclosed and the play surface is soft rubber. There are benches and a drinking fountain but not much shade.
