The playground is under renovation, however, on the side street there was a carnival for Spring break. Poor Richard's Playground has been a fixture throughout my childhood and my children's childhood as well. It was due for a make over.
It's lovely, safe and playful. Children played at there were well behaved, polite and friendly. Even suitable for very young toddlers. There two sizes of swings. Great for babies too.
I love Richard's playground. My child safety is guaranteed, most importantly the parents and children are respectful and courteous of one another. As a parent that is the park every one would like to go and enjoy a beautiful day with their child/children. There is a park directly in front of my building, that was built a year ago, do you can imagine everything is new. Unfortunately, the people that goes there are obnoxious, rude, and not courteous of anyone. So i rather walk the extra mile take my child to an old park knowing that everyone is kind, caring, courteous of each other.
Poor Richards playground is a small playground shared by four schools. It's good in the morning, and crowded in the evening after school 🏫. Parks department staffs are in the planning stages of renovating this playground. The swings are the longest I've seen. After renovation (in four years), they would not qualify against modern safety code, and will unfortunately either shortened or will have to be spaced further apart. There is a play structure with slides and climbs. There are two sets of swings, for toddlers and babies there is a separate set of swings. Bathrooms are almost always closed in the morning and evening, I've never seen them usable. The paint is peeling off. The elders kid that play here swear a lot, even the girls. The park is connected with schools building 🏫🏢via a ramp. There a plenty of shade in summer thanks to the 🌲 trees.
