Jennings Rd Athletic Complex Description
The large structure has a lighthouse theme. The lighthouse tower has a couple of slides and a climbing rock wall.
The structure also features a broken bridge, large rock formation, climbing islands, and spinning circles.
The small structure has a side by side slide and plenty of play paces great for little kids. They can also slide down the “nature” slide next to the red steps.
The Jennings Rd Athletic Complex has tons of swings! There are 4 regular swings a tire swing, 2 baby swings, and 2 adaptive swings.
There are plenty of other activities like a stand alone climber and standing sticks. There are also a few play items that might need a child’s imagination to play with. The arch does have handholds and foot rests, so I guess kids can traverse it. I am not sure about the ring – maybe kids can treat it as a circular balance beam.
