Today we visited two tot lots in River Hill. We went to RH11 and RH12. These tot lots are on either side of Great Star Drive, right where it meets Route 32.
We started at RH11 and I parked on Morning Time Lane. The path was clearly visible from the street, and it was about a 3 minute walk to the tot lot. Here the baby swings and big kid swings are on separate structures. There are 2 baby swings and 4 big kid swings. The big kid swings are a bit high off the ground (at least for a short kid). There's a small square sandbox. The plastic slide is about 5 feet high and it goes straight down. There's a ramp going up to the slide and a tunnel area underneath the slide. There are 2 benches to sit on. This tot lot is not well shaded. We could also hear the traffic from the road.

We walked to RH12, which meant we had to cross Great Star Drive. We didn't have a hard time crossing, but I'm not sure I would recommend doing it with little kids. It was only a 3 or 4 minute walk from the previous tot lot. This tot lot was better shaded. There 2 baby swings and 3 big kid swings - again on separate structures. There were 2 bouncy animals and a set of what my husband informs me are chin-up bars. The chin up bars are definitely for taller/bigger kids. There was also a small balance block. My daughter was quick to point out that there was no slide here! There was one bench to sit on here. The closest parking for this tot lot would be Reedy Song Knoll.
