878 Liberty Avenue Ogden, UT 84404
This is small neighborhood playground in a large grass park in Ogden. The wood chip based playground features a wheelchair accessible ramp to to the structure, a tick tack toe panel, steering wheel, monkey bars, spiral climber and small double slide. There are also 2 regular swings next to the play structure.
I did not take my kids along to this park as I was running errands, but I don't think they would have enjoyed it. The grass area was big and probably is fun to run around in, but the playground is old and not interesting. Although I do like that the playground is wheelchair accessible, there isn't much to do on the platform besides a steering wheel and tic tac toe. There is an open panel that leads to a set of monkey bars. This park is almost identical to Orchard Park with the slight variation of a tic tac toe panel and two less swings.
UPDATE 2021: A new play structure has been installed and a new review and photos are coming soon!
The second platform has a dome window, a spiral climber and a small double slide. There are no stairs to access this panel so it is not ideal for toddlers.
Next to the small play structure there is a set of two regular swings. They both seem to be in good working condition.
Next to the playground there is a single bench to sit at, a covered pavilion with a few picnic tables, a single picnic table not covered, a building with restrooms (closed during the winter) and a parking lot.
Overall, I was underwhelmed at the playground and probably won't go out of my way to bring my kids to this park. There are a lot of older playgrounds like this in Ogden that will hopefully be refurbished with new structures in the future.
Pros:
- large grass area to run around in
- restrooms available (closed during winter)
- covered pavilion with picnic tables and uncovered picnic table
- single bench near playground
- main play structure is wheelchair accessible
- 2 regular swings on playground
- large parking lot
Cons:
- play structure is old and limited
- no stairs access to slide for younger kids
- no infant/toddler swings or adaptive swings
