A Dream Come True Playground, Harrisonburg

We stopped by on our way from Maine to FL for a much needed leg stretch for our 3-year-old (and us, it's a long drive!). The playground itself is amazing; there are so many different little unique areas for kids to play, exercising both their bodies and their imaginations. I especially liked the music scape! Not only that, the playground is engineered to be wheelchair friendly and accessible for disabled kids of all ages, including a wheelchair friendly swing! However, in order to make it wheelchair accessible they had to pave over most of the ground and pathways between playscapes. While I understand the need to pave to make it wheelchair accessible, they went a little overboard with the concrete, paving quite a bit more than necessary. Additionally, they added a huge, paved parking lot. The end result is a bit clinical and cold. I left feeling a bit sad for the natural elements that could have been preserved and the environmental impact this will have, as well as the missed opportunity to show kids ways to live a bit more environmentally friendly and still be open and accessible to our disabled.

Great playground for children. Very safe. The equipment is maintained and the bathrooms are very clean. I love that the parking area is further away from the play area.

Although this lovely playground has some wear and tear, it is still a fantastic place to bring smaller kids to play and be creative. There is lots of parking, restrooms, shade, and area to picnic or party, and a variety of play sets for kids small to large. There is no sandbox and no water feature. It is very close to Highway 81, so it is a helpful pit stop for travelers with children who need a break from the road to stretch their legs :-)

Amazing park for kids. Two sections; 2-5 and 6-12. Rubber flooring over most parts. Swings and many slides. Clean restrooms and lots of shade for hot days. Spent a few hours hear with the kids. Best part of our day.

Great place to bring kids. It lives up to it's name. Different areas for different ages.
