I'll give it to Brownstown, they really know how to build an excellent playground. My toddler is always asking for the "big playground" because it's the biggest around, that I know of anyways.
There's safety town, with a bike path and small buildings that form a small town for the youngins to play.
There's a HUGE sandbox, although it sometimes has animal droppings, so enter at your own risk.
There is a large assortment of swings, both in quantity and variety. There are the normal swings and baby swings, but they also have the special needs children swings. There is also a large group swing.
Off to the side, between the swings and safety town, is a toddler specific playscape. It's perfect for little ones.
The main attraction though is the ginormous playscape. And while it's large, my 3 year old happily plays on it for hours, so it's not TOO big. There's probably 6 slides (I can only see 4 from my current spot on the bench), a rope bridge, swing bridge, hideouts underneath, and a variety of ways to climb up. There's also a scavenger hunt and other little activities, if you can keep their focus.
There is a lovely splash pad here as well, but it's a separate location on Yelp.
There are ample benches around for parents watching their children play. The ground is soft under some turf and there is a good amount of mature trees providing shade from the sun.
Lockers are available and there are bathrooms. However, both times I've used the bathrooms, they've been NASTY.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but you get the idea. If you're downriver and have kids, this is a must-stop-spot. read more
