Gearity Elementary School, University Heights, OH





I'm a little biased about Gearity because it's Ellie's preschool. However, the playground is fair game for rating.
WHAT: Gearity Professional Development School, Wrenford Road, University Heights (it's in the cul-de-sac that ends Wrenford).
What's good: Fenced. Picnic tables. Cushioned surface. Shade. Ample equipment, including climbers, hand-eye/fine motor activities, swings, bouncers, lots of slides, and playhouses. Everything on the preschool side is pint-sized.
What's bad: The only bummer is that during the day, even in summer, the preschool trumps the neighborhood for use. Since Gearity has activities most of the year, when the schoolchildren come out for recess, visitors have to vamoose. For safety reasons, this is totally reasonable. Just call ahead or go on a weekend when you won't have to pack up and skedaddle because you went at a bad time.
Grade: A
