Fairfax Elementary School, Cleveland Heights

Check out the awesome, huge painted hopscotch.

Preschool climber.

Primary grades climber.



Where: Fairfax Elementary School on Lee Road, across from Church of the Savior, Cleveland Heights
What: Two play centers: a kindergarten/preschool sized climber and a newfangled climber, an open play area, and foursquare/hopscotch area
What's good: The newer climber is nice, with several slides, a rock wall, and some sensory areas. I love the wide open play space, which has the painted diagrams, and the fact that a kid can just RUN, or ride a trike, or whatever. Parking is great.
What's not good: The older climber in the kinder area is not great. There are some odd design things with the wooden climber, such as a bizarre slide that ends with a seat-like thing that makes a kid look like he's straddling a bidet. No toddler swings on the swingset, which means a small child or a kid with sensory issues can't swing.
Overall grade: B
