OM2

 We visited OM2 on July 18, 2018.

OM2 is a right at the intersection of Wintercorn Lane and Orchard Green. It is visible from the street. This tot lot is on 2 levels, with the slide structure at the bottom and everything else up on the 2nd level. There's a nice slide structure here, and the slide is accessible from both steps going up and a ramp up on the second level. The slide is about 5 1/2 feet high with a couple of bounces going down. There are 2 bouncy animals here, but they are not next to each other. There are also 2 bouncy cars, which are next to each other. There's a sandbox with a few toys in it. There are 3 big kid swings and one baby swing all on one beam. There are 4 benches here, spread out around the tot lot. This is a fairly well shaded tot lot.
This tot lot backs right up to 108/Old Annapolis Rd, however, there is a tall fence all along the tot lot blocking the road.

KC8 and KC10

We visited KC8 and KC10 on July 12, 2018.

We started at KC10, parking on Single Bird Ln. You could also park on Indigo Ct. The tot lot was visible from the street. There are no big kid swings at this tot lot. There is one baby swing and a special needs swing here. There is a sandbox with a couple of toys in it. There is a nice sized slide structure here with a ramp going up. The slide is about 4 1/2 feet high, plastic and has a couple of bounces going down. There is one bench to sit on, which in the morning was in full sun. The rest of the tot lot was pretty well shaded in the morning. We did notice some fungus in spots on the ground.

We walked to KC8, which was about a 6 minute walk, mostly on the sidewalk of Keepsake Way.  The tot lot is at the end of the circle. This was another nicely shaded tot lot. There is one big kid swing and one baby swing on the same beam. There is one sandbox and two bouncy animals. There's a nice slide structure with big steps going up as well as a chain link ladder going up the back. The slide is about 7 feet high with a couple of bounces going down, but the bottom of the slide is a couple of feet off the ground. There are also monkey bars attached to the back. There is one bench to sit on. My 5 year old said "I liked the second tot lot better'.

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.

LR01 and LR02

We visited LR01 and LR02  on Thursday, July 5, 2018.

We started at LR02, which is next to the Phelps Luck Pool. There is parking by the pool and by the Phelps Luck Elementary School. This is a small tot lot, but is fenced in. There is no sign either. There is a small sandbox right at the entrance. There is one bouncy animal, and a slide. There are steps going up to the slide, which is plastic and about 4 feet high. There's a little tunnel area under the slide structure. This tot lot is in full sun. There are no trees around, so it isn't likely that there's ever much shade. Other than the pool there are also basketball courts right by the tot lot. There are no benches to sit on.

We walked over to LR01, which was only a 5 to 7 minute walk. We did have to cross Phelps Luck Dr to get to the other path. This is a larger tot lot. There are 2 baby swings on one beam and 3 big kid swings on another beam, but they are next to each other. The big kid swings are of varying heights.  There are 2 bouncy animals and a sandbox. There are steps up to the slide, which is plastic, about 5 feet high and has a couple of bounces going down. There is a little green field across the path, but there's also a small lake, so keep an eye out if your kids are running around over there. There is one bench to sit on. This tot lot is a bit shaded, but not completely shaded.

OB06 and OB02

We visited OB06 and OB02 on July 2, 2018.

OB06 is located right by the Owen Brown Community Center and the Dasher Green Pool. It's behind the community center. There is no sign saying that it's OB06. Since it's right next to the pool, this tot lot is fenced in. There are 2 bouncy animals and one bouncy car. There is one baby swing and one big kid swing on the same beam. There's a nice set of monkey bars that are a bit lower to the ground, making it easier for the smaller kids to try, and easier for the parent hold the child up! There's a small sandbox. The metal slide structure has steps going up. There are 2 slides side by side, which are about 5 feet high.  There are no benches to sit on. Most of the tot lot was not shaded (at least in the morning, and based on the trees, or lack thereof).

Despite the very hot weather, we walked over to OB02. We had to cross Cradlerock Way, but the path was right across the street and the walk was less than 10 minutes. If you were to drive there, parking on either Rising Moon or Sunset Light will lead you right to the tot lot. There are 2 bouncy animals and a nice sandbox with toys.  There is one baby swing and 2 big kid swings (of slightly different heights) all on one beam. The slide structure has a ramp going up. There is also a ladder on the back, but the ladder goes up pretty high, and is not on an angle, making it a little harder to climb. The slide is metal, about 5 1/2 feet high and goes straight down. The slide was in direct sun, at least in the morning, which made it very hot to the touch. There are 2 benches to sit on here.

These tot lots aren't far from OB05, OB04, and OB03.
