Golden Meadows Park

"Surprising"

Sandwiched between strip malls and tract housing, this park surprises.  It's a little difficult to see the playground behind the tennis courts from the small strip of park at the street.  On the other side, a large multi-use field was acting as a soccer field.  The map shows a lake to the east, but we didn't get that far.

The playground has rocking horses and cars on springs, the standard + baby swing set and a climbing structure with three types of slides and smallish steps up.  It was open underneath and older kids were hanging out in the shade.

I must admit, I'm not used to the commercial level of playgrounds I see in this region, but I guess it means they have the budget for new equipment.  In this instance, this playground felt "Name Brand" in that every item with made by a large national toy manufacturer.  As a result, all the structures are plastic but new and in good condition.
