HR16 & HR17

We visited HR16 and HR17 on July 11, 2018

We started at HR17. Looking at the map it was a bit difficult to figure out the best way to get to there, because there was no direct path from a main road. (It is off of the Clary's Forest Loop.) We parked on Green Meadow Dr, and it was an easy walk, right past basketball courts. There is a 4 seated seesaw (2 seats on each side). There are 4 big kid swings on one beam and 2 baby swings on a second beam. There's a nice merry-go-round here. Two bouncy cars and a sandbox. There is a very nice slide structure here. On the back was a chain link ladder as well as big steps to climb up. The slide is about 5 1/2 feet high, plastic and has a couple of bounces going down. There are high monkey bars attached to the back of the slide structure. There is a tic tac toe game too. There are 3 benches to sit on, 2 in one area, and the third in another area. There's a nice green grassy area for kids to run around in too. This tot lot was pretty well shaded at the time we were there (morning).

We got back in the car to go to HR16. While it probably is walkable - at least for an adult, it looked a bit too long to 'risk' with kids. The drive was about half a mile, and only took a couple of minutes. We parked on White Cord Way, at the end of the circle. It's a short walk down the path to the tot lot. There's a nice sandbox right next to the benches. There is a beam with 2 baby swings, and a second beam with spots for 4 big kid swings. However, today the swings were missing. I spoke to a couple of parents/nannies who were there and said the swings had been there a few days ago, so my guess is that the swings are being replaced and will hopefully be back soon! There is one bouncy animal. There's a nice slide structure with a ramp going up. There are 2 slides attached, both are metal. One is about 5 feet high, the other is about 3 1/2 feet high, both go straight down. This is also a nicely shaded tot lot.
