That photo opportunity is South of Forest Park & 64/40 on Oakland Ave just East of Tamm Ave) AstroTurf type surface on a shock absorbing padding covers the playground, but not the "Secret Garden" or ramps. There is a toddler area, area for "big kids" & a "secret garden" though some bushes. While overall well designed... I do not like the many entry/exits & blind spots. The best area to keep track of the big kids maybe on the top of the ramp outside the wall. With mix toddler & "big kid"... follow UnCool Dave rules & tell the "big kids" they must stay on or over the AstroTurf area.

The shade is minimal so the kids do work up some heat - beware there is no water fountain so come prepared or go in to the visitor center, they have a small cafe where you can buy refreshments. There was parking right out front of the visitor center and the park was not not crowded on a Sunday afternoon. My kids still vote Shaw Park as their most favorite place to play.

My little one is a bit small for it, but he made a friend and they just ran up and down and around instead of going down the slide. There are two entrances and therefore, two parking lots - I just wish there was a clearer path from the furthest parking lot. There is a lot of grass, but also a lot of dog poop you need to avoid. It seems well-maintained especially the bathrooms! There was also a free little library at the pavilion which was cute.

The thing I love the the splash pads they have, they weren't on while I was there but I look forward to warmer days to enjoy those. They also have a basketball court and a nice walking path to enjoy. My only reason why I didn't give this park 5 stars was because the bathrooms and water fountains were closed. I understand that a lot of parks have schedules for when they turn on water at parks but it is something on nice days that would be Convenient to be able to use a bathroom and not end my park visit early. Definitely will be returning to this park and kind of wished I lived in this neighborhood so I could walk there!
