Mt. Vernon Woods Park
The Equipment
Two bucket and two regular swings, three slides consisting of a regular one, tunnel and spiral version. There is inappropriate language done in graffiti on one of the slides. There are stepping stones and monkey rings.
The Scene
It’s a bit of a walk on a paved walkway to reach the mulch surfaced playground. I find it bizarre that a large, communication tower is situated near the play area. While the tower is fenced in, I think it poses a safety concern. There is a covered pavilion but there are no tables or chairs. The only seating is a horseshoe style cement bench outside of the pavilion. Parking is on the street. The park has plenty of open space.
Age Recommendation
With the exception of the baby swings, the playground is best suited for ages 5 to 12.
Restrooms
