Discovery Park
This park needs more benches by the playground areas. The one with the slide only has one bench, the second one is facing the field with its back to the playground. Where are the other parents/adults supposed to sit and watch the kids (when we are not playing with them)? There could easily be a bunch more benches along the pathway.
The other play area has more seating (one bench and one picnic table) as well as rocks to sit on. I wish there was another swing instead of the four square. The main attraction is one round swing that kids have to wait on for long periods. More of these swings would be great.
Overall, the park seems like it was made to look good in design, but not practical for real life. The play areas are pretty to look at, but do not encourage imagination play and are awkward to use. The entrances to the hut slide are too thin on one side, and the other is difficult for little kids due to the huge gaps in the netting inside the hut. The metal slide is fun. Fast, unlike plastic slides. The climbing areas are okay, but don’t hold kids attention long. If the designers wanted to keep the park simple, add more swings and less areas where families need to bring equipment to use (four square, Gaga pit).
The “butterfly garden” is underwhelming. It is June and there are only two types of flowers. There is no grass, all clover and weeds. The park is kept clean and sidewalks clear. It isn’t a bad park, just has more potential than what it currently is.
