John Waples Memorial Playground is a clean park with two playgrounds, slides and swings, a huge sandbox with a ton of toys, and a covered gazebo for parents. The area has benches, a water fountain, and a book exchange for story time. Nearby parking and a small nature preserve provide easy access. The park is popular with toddlers and older kids, but there is no shade over the sandbox and no restrooms. Maintenance is needed on some equipment, and more tier chips are required for the play areas under the equipment. There is not much area for a dog.
It needs Maintenance done to some of the equipment. They also are in need of more tier chips. For the play areas under the equipment.
