We hadn't been to Schlather park in about a year, and this visit reminded me why. No, it isn't just these signs:
Although last time I remember a "beware of snakes" sign in front of EVERY parking space. From a distance I was worried every spot was handicapped parking. Nope, just wanted to get the message of snakes across. Message received. The real issue with Schlather park for us is the playscape. A year ago, my daughter was content to stay on the small section devoted to toddlers. However, the majority of the playscape is geared toward older children. Actually, all of the very best stuff relies on being able to climb a vertical ladder through a hole in the upper deck. We are so not there yet. So we had a very brief visit today. Also, there is no shade, and many of the slides were pretty hot. The park looks really great, it just isn't the right place for my 2 year old. She mostly wandered up and down the stairs and across the bridge, insisting that she was having fun and did NOT want to go home. If you have older children, you should definitely check it out. I haven't actually been on the walking trail, but I have heard good things. And the many picnic tables and bbq stands would make it a great place to host a gathering (especially if your kids are old enough to enjoy the playground!)
Pavilion
The playscape. Looks fun, doesn't it?
The toddler section. I'm going to tag this as toddler and preschool friendly, but really only because of this part.
Big slide, which requires going up the ladder
For the more adventurous...
Here is the ladder that leads to basically ALL of the slides.
Rings and pull up bars. (I don't remember those houses being there last year!)
Monkey bars and another big slide
Sling swings, but no bucket swings
Here is some of the walking trail
