We visited one of the tot lots in Dorsey's Search on Friday, May 15, 2015. DS3 to be exact.
This was a nice, medium sized tot lot. It is off of Gray Rock Dr, right near Fragile Sail Way. While this tot lot is also right off the street, Gray Rock Dr didn't seem to be an overly busy street. Additionally it is down a slight hill, which makes it seem 'safer' from traffic. The tot lot and path are easily visible from Gray Rock Dr, and parking on the street was easy.
There are 3 adult swings, which are low enough to the ground that even shorter children can sit on them easily. There is one baby swing.
The slide is plastic, and probably 6 to 7 feet high. It has a couple of little bounces on it, going down, which the kids really seemed to like. There is a ramp going up to the slide. There are also monkey bars. A nice sandbox in the corner. One bench for the adults to sit on, directly facing the playground.
Another nice aspect of this tot lot is that directly across from it is a nice green field for kids to run and play in. It's definitely a good area to play ball, tag or just run off extra energy!
DS3 is connected to a path which continues on to allow for a nice long walk. DS2 is accessible on the path too, but we just wandered around for a bit and even came across some deer.
