This was a bright, shiny playground, and it was well put together with separate areas for different age groups and styles of play. 

There was plenty of shade over the actual playground equipment which kept the slides from getting too hot, and the whole area was cool and pleasant to play. 

The shape of the equipment lent itself to a lot of discovery, and there were a lot of pieces that aren't seen replicated in other parks like the little house and dome. 

The long bridge was a bit slippery, but it was still fun to run on.

There was plenty of sensory equipment around the playground too. 

The playground really wore out our toddler, who also didn't want to leave despite running out all his power. Definitely, we would return to this playground again, though it feels like a bit of a trek to get to.

Named for local community activist Sol Lain who died of cancer in 1971, the playground is jointly owned by parks and the Department of education.
