Two age-appropriate playgrounds have added for the benefit of residents, area day care centers, and visitors to the Square.

The first playground, designed for ages 2-5, has a group seesaw, a sliding board, bridge, playhouse, monkey bars, fireman’s pole, and several levels of climbing fun. Swings include a handicapped-accessible swing, toddler bucket swings, as well as traditional swings.

The second playground, designed for ages 5-12, is a fun, bright, colorful, design with climbing and spinning elements. This unique and modern play set is also accompanied by an age-appropriate swing set.

On the surface of both areas, special turf designed for playground safety has been installed. In between the two areas, seating is available where parents can take a rest while observing their children at play.
