South Run RECenter
The Equipment
The playground at South Run is located next to the RECenter and the parking lots. It’s a good size playground, with a large play structure, two sets of swings, and a smaller structure made up mostly of monkey bars. The main structure has three large slides connected by several bridges. There is also a “clubhouse” area underneath the structure. There are two regular swings and two toddler swings, along with a tire swing that seats three. The other structure has various monkey bars and a large tic-tac-toe board to play with. The entire playground is covered with a rubberized surface; there is an additional thick layer of woodchips on top of this under the swings and main play structure. One of the other unique features of the playground is that during the summer they put up a shade canopy over the entire playground.
The Scene
The play structures are easily visible, so no worries about losing a little one. There is also a lot of space to run around. South Run REC Center has lots of other outdoor activities to offer as well. There are many fields nearby to play and run on, a tennis court, basketball courts, and trails that connect South Run with Burke Lake. South Run also has an off-leash dog park which would be a lot of fun if your family has a four-legged member or two.
