HC13 and HC14




We visited tot lots HC13 and HC14 on April 26, 2018.
We started at HC14, parking on Beatrice Way. However, there are 3 or 4 other streets right there that connect to the tot lot. The tot lot was visible from the top of the path on Beatrice Way, which was nice for the kids to see. This was a nice sized tot lot, with lots of space to play. The swing sets are set off in one space - 2 baby swings and 2 big kid swings. The big kid swings are a bit high off the ground. There's a nice large slide structure here. A ramp goes up to the top, (or there's a metal ladder on the side), and the slide is about 6 feet high, plastic with a couple of bumps going down. The bottom of the slide is about a foot off the ground. There also 2 bouncy animals and a sandbox here. This tot lot also had a couple of 'donated' items - a small plastic toddler slide and a small plastic picnic table.
There are 4 benches to sit on. It seems as if this would be a fairly well shaded tot lot as well.

From HC14 we walked to HC13. With 2 preschoolers and a toddler, the walk was about 7 minutes.  This is a smaller tot lot, but the kids still had a lot of fun. If you wanted to go directly to this tot lot it is directly off Eliots Oak Rd. There is one baby swing and one big kid swing. 2 bouncy animals and a sandbox. The slide structure has steps going up. The slide is about 4 feet high, plastic, with one bounce going down. There is one bench to sit on.

KC1




Although it's still a bit cool out we went for a family walk today and visited a tot lot in Kings Contrivance. (visited April 8, 2018)
KC1 is located right off of Moving Water Ln. It is a smaller tot lot, but very nice.
There are 2 bouncy animals and a nice swing set structure with 2 big kid swings and 2 baby swings. The big kid swings are a bit high off the ground. However, these swings do look like they're newer and were probably replaced in the past couple of years.
There is a narrow ramp going up to the slide. There is also a metal ladder on the side of the slide structure to climb up. The plastic slide is about 5 feet high and goes straight down. The bottom of the slide is high off the ground - about 18 inches to 2 feet. It can make for a rough landing, especially for kids who don't have long legs or know how to stop at the bottom.
There is also a small green area behind the swings to play and run in.
