925 E 920 N, Ogden, UT 84404
This is a new wood chip based playground in Ogden, UT. Park amenities include and 2 story play structure, monkey bars, swings, xylophone, bench, covered picnic tables, restrooms and large grass field.
The play structure is rated for 5-12 yr olds and I would agree with the rating. While it does have a small slide for younger kids, there is a horizontal climbing ladder that accesses the second story on the structure that would be challenging or dangerous for younger kids in my opinion.
There are 4 regular swings at the playground. Update: 8/2019 Ogden City added a brand new adaptive/ADA accessible swing to this playground. Now there are 3 regular swings and 1 ADA swing (that can also be used for younger kids too!).
There is also a new fun xylophone in the corner of the playground.
Next to the new elements there is a weathered wooden bench leftover from the old playground that is shaded by a tree, covered picnic tables and restrooms with wheelchair access from the parking lot.
Note: This is a Biba enabled playground, an app you can interact with at the playground meant to encourage physical activity and imagination.
Pros:
- fun new playground with 2 story play structure
- 3 regular swings and one ADA accessible swing
- Biba playground
- restrooms near playground
- shaded bench
- large parking lot
Cons:
- no shade on play structure
- no wheelchair access on playground with ramps or rubber surfacing
Is is of note that Google Maps labels the park as Ron Claire park. I talked with someone at the Ogden City Parks Department and they verified that they have no park with that name. I did put in a request for name change on Google Maps, but as of 9/8/19 it still reads as Ron Claire Park.
