Gross Park - Playground
- Description
-
To quote Shakespeare: "What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet." I turn to the Bard to say that - despite this name Gross Park is not gross. In fact, it is quite nice.
There is a single sprawling play structure that is accessible by ramp with elements for a range of children. There are also a few standalone elements - including a play dinosaur - and the same set of swings (toddler and belt seat only).
The non-play amenities are great. Some large trees give shade throughout the day. Ample seating in the form of benches and picnic tables. A drinking fountain and a small fieldhouse which should provide access to a bathroom (when open). And a soft rubber play surface in a fully enclosed park. Lots of things make this a comfortable place to spend a morning; highly recommend. - Playground Features
