Esch Park Description
Esch Park offers a structure, swings, rockers, and a see-saw. There is also a sand box and chin up bars.
Even at 12, my daughter had to play with the animal facts spinners.
She also tested out the rockers. She’s taller than me, but was still able to rock.
The see-saw isn’t too much fun alone, but she made it work with a little help from mom.
One thing that Esch Park lacks is shade.
