OB13 - Lake Elkhorn

We visited OB13, also known as the Lake Elkhorn playground/tot lot, on Friday, June 21, 2019.

There is an entrance with a small parking lot behind the tot lot off of Dockside Ln. There is also street parking on Cradlerock Way, across from the McDonald's near the Village Center.  This is definitely one of the largest, if not the largest, of all of the tot lots, and it's definitely more like a playground.

This tot lot has 2 different slide structures, one for ages 2-5, the other for ages 5-12.
The 2-5 structure has 4 slides, one a side by side. All of the slides are plastic, and most are short, the highest is about 5 feet high, with high sides. There is also a fan climber/ladder to climb up the side, and a few small steps going up to the slides.
The 5-12 structure is bigger, with 2 slides, both plastic. The larger slide is about 7 feet high with some twists going down. The smaller slide is about 4 feet high and goes straight down. There are monkey bars attached to the structure, a fireman's pole (a far reach), and lots of other parts to climb and play on.
This tot lot also has 2 bouncy cars, and a balance beam. There is a small sandbox with a lot of toys. There are 2 baby swings on one beam that is centrally located in the tot lot. The 4 big kid swings (which are a bit high off the ground), are on a separate beam, more off to the side of the tot lot.

This tot lot has moments of shade, but also has sunny spots.

There are 5 benches scattered around, and of course the tot lot is next to Lake Elkhorn so a walk near the lake is an option as well.

Also, be aware, this is a popular tot lot, and almost always busy!
