Saul Alexander Tennis Courts — Attraction in Summerville

** Now called Saul Alexander Playground

It just reopened in February 2022 with all new playground equipment.

Two primary areas. When you walk in there's a large area with many ground level activities including musical instruments.

Then a play area for kids I'd say up to 10-12 ish...

A large grassy play area and then to the right two zip line style activities- one holding on with a rope and the other with a seat. I went wth a 5 year old who loved it.

In that same area two types on swings. One standard style with 2 swings over sand, the other has 4 with two standard over a rubber type flooring plus 2 baby & me style swings.

Only 2 picnic tables with a covering for shade. Very limited table offering, which might change over time pending budget? A few benches scattered around the outer edges for seating.

Public restrooms. A bit strange... the are 2 rooms (family bathroom style). But when you walk in there are 2 toilets with no doors. The door you enter through is actually three one you lock. Strange setup.

The only downfall, in my opinion is the parking. It's only available on the same side of the street. Our GPS took us from three opposite side. So we figured take the next street and turn around somewhere... that didn't quite work out! We'll know for next time to come from a different direction. I'm not a fan of street parking but it's in an area where unless they share parking wth the church next door, I'm not sure what options they'd have. There's a baseball field right next door, I have no idea where all those people park got a game? I'm sure some can walk or ride a bike but maybe I'm missing something?

We'll come...

We went here one weekend for a birthday party and we really enjoyed it! They have so many different things to play on, rather than the same ol regular slide/swings/monkey bars that you can expect to find at EVERY other park! I believe my favorite thing there was the section of “instruments”. Something similar to an oversized xylophone and a few “drums” were setup to play, but they all make a gentle sound so that was pretty neat! I loved the material the ground under the play area was made of; a soft, almost bouncy material. They also have bathrooms, which is always a plus! My only complaint was the parking. Not very many places to park, unless I just didn’t see other places. Overall, the best park we’ve...

POTTY TALK: nice restrooms very close to the playground

Yes! Yes! Yes! Awesome inclusive park for toddlers and little kids. I felt totally comfortable with both babies here (6M & 2yrs). Nothing was too big or dangerous. This is a newly renovated playground and it’s fabulous.
