Mercer School, Shaker Heights, Ohio








Where: playground of Mercer School, intersections of Hardwick and Green Roads, Shaker Heights
What's good: Everything. Three climber sizes--petite, medium and large. The large has some cool large muscle activities--log roll, hanging balance beam, much bigger climbing and sliding. The medium climber, which got the most use from us, has some nice sensory things on it (the rolling pin slide is a fave). Nice slide variation--twisty, wavy, tubular. Good wood chips. Parking lot is immediately adjacent.
What's annoying: a sign that says that the playground is restricted to Shaker school district residents only, along with the standard no dogs, no bicycles rah-rah. Well, there was a guy who walked there with his dog and his son on a bike. So I was afoul of the sign, but this fellow was too. How would they enforce something like that? Does the Shaker 5-0 have that kind of time on their hands?
Grade: A
