DeVoy Playground — Attraction in New York

We're so disappointed with this park. Before they renovated it, there were play areas for all kids. Now the entire park is for toddlers up to 5 year olds. There is a toddler area, but bigger kid equipment, which is rated 5-12 years of age, consists of a continuous ramp with no climbing equipment, and the only slide is about 30" from the ground.
