Virginia Weaver Park is gorgeous! The entrance is also the exit, so families with little children or children who work hard to follow directions (😉) can relax! Your child cannot wander into the street without some effort. The playground is separated into a 2-5 year old play yard and a 5-12 year old play yard. They have swings for babies, swings for children who have specific needs, and low swings for children learning to swim in their own. I've only seen this one time, but this park has a very rare "Mommy-and-Me" swing! Such a cool feature for parents with young children who want to swing! There are many colorful and intriguing toys for children to play with such as drums, xylophones, color panes, and unique playground equipment that promotes the improvement of the vestibular and proprioceptive senses. The park has clean restrooms!!! And behind the playground, there is a low ravine, more like a drainage ditch with landscaping (😂) with a little bit of water running through it, so take caution if you plan on being here after the rain. There is a small pavilion close by the playground, too. We had a fun time exploring Virginia Weaver Park and plan to come back very...
Read moreReally nice park. It's split into two sections for ages 2-5 and 6-12. Lots to do with a seesaw, a disc swing and several obstacle sets in both sides. Also the whole area is fenced in so less stories about kids escaping, especially since it's pretty large and takes a bit to get around from the adults perspective unless you go up into the main fort area.
A few minor issues like the straps missing/damaged on the swings for disabled/special needs children and the steel drum in the younger kids side was installed upside down but there are several musical items that worked well and even a couple electronic button toys mounted on walls.
There is construction beside it right now with a fence splitting the playground from the rest of the park so you'll want to park right beside the playground instead of the parking lot closer to the school. At least unless you intend to walk or use the fields.
One of the nicer parks...
Read moreI'm really glad they rebuilt this park. I used to take my twins to it before and they enjoyed it, but it was very worn down and we always feared getting splinters when trying to crawl through the jungle gym. The new park is really fun and there's something for every age. My twins really enjoyed the different swing options and the secret passageways to climb in and out of the jungle gym. They tried to use the seesaw but it looks like it's really built for kids ages 6 and below even though it's on the age 7-12 side.Definitely not for big kids like my twins, aged 11, but they tried to have fun on it anyways. Overall we like this park. I just wish they would put some tables closer to the play area for when we bring food. I like to stay close enough where I can see...
