Nichols Park Playground - E

Climbing-oriented playground on the east side of Nichols Park that is built for bigger kids, with a zipline and traversing elements on wood chips. It is partially fenced with tree shade and a low wall for seating, but no benches or picnic tables, and it is not really suited to toddlers.

How we know this

Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
