These little steppy steps are excellent for motor planning.
A nice twist on the rock wall. Sensory + gross motor + bilateralism.
The slides at this park are superior to a lot of slides I've seen. Lots of twists and turns, climbing options to get there. The height factor on the big twisty slide is a little intimidating for toddlers tho.
Longview. Rock wall visible.What and Where: Forest Hills Park playground, entrance off of Lee Road.
What's good: super climber--there is something for every child of every ability. Excellent slides. Good rock walls and climbing opportunities. Wood chips were fresh the day we were there. Nice trees. There is a pavilion for snacking and plenty of grass for running, kite flying, etc. Parking is ample and close by.
What's not good: I heard from a parent friend at Ellie's school that in the evenings adolescents come into the park, often from East Cleveland, to smoke, fool around, use bad language, etc. I can't confirm this but he doesn't take his little girl there after supper anymore. He did note that he has seen far more CHPD patrols in that neighborhood recently and that the fracas seems to have died down.
Grade: A- (in case there is truth to the riff raff)
