Harsh Park - Playground Park

Description

Harsh Park sits on a quiet stretch of Oakenwald Avenue and features modern Kompan playground structures, a standard set of swings, and a small water spray element. There are two playground structures - a smaller one for younger children and a larger one for older children - that feature distinctive geometric designs and bold colors. The swings are standard (toddler, adaptive, and belt seat) and the water spray feature is a simple single pole sprayer. The park itself is heavily shaded by large trees and there is a small pavilion on the north side of the park for additional shade. The play area is fenced from the street but not fully enclosed and the surface is wood chips. There are a few benches but additional seating or even a picnic table would be welcome additions to this small neighborhood park.
