Where: there...off of Fairmount...sort of (more of that to follow)
What's good: the climbers are the older wooden style, but they are ample and appropriately sized. I like the wide space for RUNNING, which is always a good option. The pavilion provides excellent seating for shade and snacks. Slides are covered for the most part, which in the summer sun is key in Ohio (burned butts are no fun). The school is in a quiet neighborhood and not on a main street. Fenced along the sidewalk.
What's not good: the parking lot for the playground is way behind the school building and completely inaccessible from West Saint James. You have go take Colchester to Woodmere to North Park and then sort of do a dodge and tuck into the lot. If you don't plan this, your kids will be in the car screaming that they want out (like mine were) while you frantically try to find a place to park the van. The parking lot is accessible, of course, but it is tricky to find your first time out.
Overall grade: even with the wonky parking, the amazing pavilion and good layout rate this playground a solid B.

Hi, I'm not a blogger, so I don't think I'm capable of posting a complete entry (with pictures, maps, etc.), but my kids and I have made it our summer's mission to discover the best playgrounds in Cleveland (too bad that I didn't discover your blog before today!). These are the ones that have gotten an "A" and should definitely be on your list to visit with your kids:
1. Coventry P.E.A.C.E Playground (on Euclid Heights Boulevard and Coventry, across from the library)
2. Beachwood Playground (Fairmount and Richmond)
3. Preston's Hope Playground (South Woodland and Brainard - by the JCC)
4. Bexley Park (South Euclid)
5. Lakewood Park (in Lakewood, right on Lake Erie - huge!)
6. Playground by Shaker Heights Main Library (Lee and Chagrin)
7. Rockefeller Park (on Martin Luther King - down the hill from the Natural History museum) - there's a free sprinkler park adjacent to the beautiful playground so bring the swimsuits!
Each of these playgrounds has unique features and is worth the trip (not just swings, slides, sand)
Enjoy!
I am definitely coming back again for additional contents of yours.
