| - This is one of the most unique playgrounds I have ever been to. To briefly describe it, imagine your elementary school safety town... now blow that up x10. That's what you get at Preston's Hope park. There's a rather interesting story behind it, but the short version is that it's completely wheelchair and handicap accessible. However, you'll quickly find that it's enjoyable for all types of children. The giant houses are a dream come true for kids who love to play and hide. I will say it makes challenging to keep an eye on them, especially if you have a larger group, however the park itself is contained by a fence, so it's not too terribly worrisome. There's also a decent sized sand pit, swings and a few teeter totters. My biggest criticism is that despite how popular this park is, the pavilion is negligible. It has no more than 6 small tables that can seat about 8 kids each and there's a lot of unusable space in the pavilion itself since the tables are place sort of oddly. This makes it hard if you want to be able to enjoy lunch with even a small group. Also they do have restrooms, but it's a single stall, so the line can get backed up rather quickly. This makes it difficult if you really wanted to spend the day here. Still though, I think this is a really impressive park and would definitely recommend to others looking for something unique to bring their kids to.
