OM15a & OM16



We visited OM15a and OM16 on June 9, 2017.
OM15a is is right next to the Stevens Forest Pool and Stevens Forest Elementary School. It is a very nice tot lot. The swings are in one area, in the full sun. There are 2 baby swings, four big kid swings and one big tire swing. The big kid swings are a bit high off the ground. There are two benches near the swings to sit on.
The other area is much better shaded. There are six benches around to sit on. There are also four picnic benches. The ground cover here is partly mulch, and partly rubber tiles. The tiles are a little uneven, and for new walkers can be a little tricky.
There are a lot of different things at this tot lot. The sandbox is slightly elevated. There's also a sand table, which is kind of high. Not a good height for toddlers, but older kids will be able to reach it. There are 3 different sets of monkey bars - one regular type, which stands alone, and 2 others are which are ring like. There's a wobbly bridge, which is safely surrounded by bars. There are 2 slides, one short plastic slide that goes straight down. The second slide is about 7 feet high and is a tube type slide that goes straight down.  There are a lot of other fun things here - little ladders to climb, telephone tubes, musical chimes.

OM16 is a 5 or 6 minute walk away on the paths. The closest parking point for this tot lot is Clearsmoke Ct. This is a small tot lot, but has some charm. There is one baby swing and 2 big kid swings. The swings are a nice low-ish height, however, they swing a little crooked.  The swings are also in the shade.  The rest of the tot lot is full sun. There's a sandbox here. There's also a a slide, about 5 feet high, with a couple of bumps going down. There's a nice wooden ladder to climb up to the slide platform.
