McKinley City Park

This small playground is tailored for younger kids. There are two small slides, including a tunnel slide, as well as some bouncers that look like horses. Kids can also play on the monkey bars.

There isn’t much shade, though the park is surrounded by tall trees.

When I first saw the park, it looked very rundown with a lot of sun damage. I couldn’t get a closer look since it was nap time for my kid in the car. However, I did see someone using the monkey bars as a pull up bar, so for the neighborhood, it’s both a playground and a workout space. I would say this playground needs some repainting and a little bit of TLC.
