RH13

We visited RH13 on Thursday, July 11, 2019. There are a couple of path entrances that lead to this tot lot. We parked on Silent Moon Run, but there's also a path entrance from Great Star Drive.

There are 2 bouncy animals here, both of which are a little high off the ground. My 3 year old managed to get on them, but it took a couple of tries. I was also able to sit on them both with my feet comfortably on the ground and I'm just under 5 feet.
There's a nice slide structure with ramps going up. There is also a metal ladder going straight up the side. The plastic slide is about 6 feet high with a couple of bounces going down.  The beam with the swings has 2 big kid swings and one baby swing. There are hooks for a 4th swing, so there may be a swing added at some point. There's a sandbox with no toys. Also, 2 or 3 of the corners were dug down pretty far. There is a balance beam with 3 slightly different heights.
This tot lot is about a 7 minute walk from RH01.

RH01

We visited RH01 on Thursday, July 11, 2019. The path to this tot lot is off the circle on Onward Trail.

Unfortunately, we didn't spend a lot of time here because it started to rain shortly after we arrived!
There is an  nice square sandbox here, but no toys. There are 2 bouncy animals, and a nice slide structure. The slide structure has a ramp going up, and a nice tunnel area underneath. The slide is about 4 feet high, plastic, and goes straight down. There are 4 swings, 3 big kid swings and 1 baby swing, all on the same beam. There was a fair amount of shade at this tot lot.
There are 2 benches to sit on.
This tot lot is about a 7 minute walk to RH13.

LR17

We visited LR17 on August 1, 2018.

LR17 is located just off of Stonecutter Rd, and is visible from the street. (As we pulled up my daughter yelled "I see it!").  We spent over 2 hours here, so it's definitely a fun tot lot. There is a square sandbox with toys in it. There are 3 bouncy animals and a tunnel. There's a nice set of monkey bars, but again, they are very high off the ground. The monkey bars were also the only part of the tot lot that seemed to be consistently in the sun. The slide structure has a ramp going up and a metal ladder on the side. The slide is about 5 1/2 feet high, plastic, and goes straight down. The slide is not super high off the ground, but was high enough for my toddler to land flat on her bottom a few times. On one beam there are 3 big kid swing and 2 baby swings.  The big kid swings are of varying heights and not as high off the ground as others that I've seen. This was a pretty well shaded tot lot, at least in the morning.

RH14 &RH15

We visited RH14 and RH15 on June 14, 2018

We parked on Morning Time Lane to get to RH14 and it was just a short walk down the hill. The path is all the way at the end of the road, in the circle. This was a nicely shaded tot lot. There was a baby swing and a big kid swing on one beam. The big kid swing was a little high off the ground. There is a small sandbox. The balance beam has two difference heights. There are steps up to the plastic slide. The slide is about 4 feet high and goes straight down. Once bench to sit on.

We walked to RH15, which was about a 5 minute walk. RH15 is just off of Morning Light Trail. This tot lot had a plastic slide that is about 5 feet high and has a couple of bumps going down. There is a ramp going up to the slide. There are 2 bouncy animals. Once again, there is one baby swing and one big kid swing sharing the same beam.  This tot lot was also very nicely shaded.

RH23, RH24, RH25

We visited 3 tot lots in River Hill today, May 3, 2018.

We started at RH23. It is accessible from both Early Lilacs Path and Floating Clouds Path. This is a nice, multi level tot lot. There is a little bouncy car and a tunnel. There are 4 big kid swings on one beam, and in a separate area 2 baby swings. The baby swings are a bit away from everything else, which is nice for keeping the big kids away. There is also a tire swing, which was very popular with our kids. They needed a little help getting on, but then had a blast. There is a small sandbox. There are steps up to the slide, which is about  feet high and goes straight down. However, the bottom of the slide is at least 18 inches off the ground and my toddler had a few rough landings, basically falling off the slide onto her bottom. So, watch the little ones as they slide down. There are 2 benches to sit on. It was in pretty full sun while we were there. However, there are a lot of trees surrounding it, and I suspect when the leaves fill in for the summer it will be at least a bit more shaded.

Next we walked to RH24, which was about a 5 minute walk on the path. If you wanted to drive directly here, the path is on Laurel Leaves Ln. There were 2 baby swings on one beam, and 4 baby swings on another beam. The big kid swings were a bit high off the ground. There was a nice riding carousel, which again, the kids loved riding on. There's a small sandbox and monkey bars. The slide structure here was one of my favorites. It was a very nice size. There's a large ramp going up to the slide, as well as a ladder on the other side to climb. The slide itself is plastic, about 6 1/2 feet high and has a couple of bumps going down. Again, the bottom of the slide was almost 2 feet off the ground, so watch the little ones going down. However, the bounces/bumps do help slow them down. 2 benches to sit on. It was very sunny here, and didn't look like much shade would come in over the summer.

The third tot lot we visited was RH25. This was about a 7 minute walk from RH24. Parking for RH25 is on Indian Summer Drive or Summer Sky Path. This tot lot also had a tunnel and a balance bounce to stand on. There's a balance beam of two different heights - but it was a little narrow. Here again the baby swings and big kid swings were on separate beams. 2 baby swings and 4 big kid swings (yet again a bit high off the ground). The slide structure had steps going up as well as a chain link rope to climb up. The plastic slide was about 5 1/2 feet high and had a couple of bounces going down. There are also monkey bars attached to the slide structure. There are 2 benches to sit on and again, another sunny tot lot.
