A New Town playground with two separate age-specific areas, a challenging rolling balance beam, and a community Little Free Library nearby.

This New Town playground thoughtfully houses two separate play areas preventing younger children from attempting equipment beyond their capability. The fenced toddler area offers appropriate swings and climbing frames with short slides. The older children's section features a challenging rolling balance beam that wobbles side to side (super difficult to cross!), a rodeo board, rotating climbing net, and standard swings. A sports court with football goals, basketball hoops, and table tennis table extends the recreation options. Grassy areas invite picnics and running games, while a charming Little Free Library nearby adds community character. Multiple bus routes serve the area with stops within minutes' walk.
