Kauffman Park — Attraction in Lakewood

Better accessibility overall but the playground is not as good as the old one. The path into the park is now a paved wide ramp with railings on both sides of the ramp which goes down to all the amenities of the park. I am not sure about the angle of the main path for wheelchair users however this is a nice improvement. This wide path is connected to the public bathroom and new covered shelter by pavement and also the baseball field and the playground are also connected by pavement.

The rest of the playground was a combination of small playground structure climbing wall there are numerous wooden stumps for kids to play balance game balancing games on there are two alternative types of swings and a merry-go-round I am disappointed that the play structure is not as vast as the one that existed in the past there is one nice climbing tree that's integrated into the playground hopefully it will withstand the use of many children hoping for something challenging...

The playground is neglected but they plan on installing some new generic playground features and update the park a little. It says they have a fitness trail but it is really just a path. Oh. Also a tennis court that...
