PLAYGROUNDS ON BASE





The main playground on base that isn't a part of a tower or townhouses is behind Purdy gym, by the ball fields. You'll recognize it when you see it. Get off the bus at the commissary, or the Post Office and walk around to get to it.

There is a large playground at the elementary school, but until school is out, you can't really go there. Many parents who pick up their little ones hang out for a bit and let them play before having to go back to the tower.

I like this main one because there is a tot lot one. It has a special fence, and in the summer it has a cover.

There are only 2 swings at this one (bummer) and when people are having parties at the gazebos on the weekends, are crowded.

The slides are awesome, and the rubber mat is wonderful. We call this the CAT SCAN playground, as my son was pushed out of one of the top things and then proceeded to just want to sleep, and started throwing up, all classic signs of a head injury. So, we ended up having a CAT SCAN done.

There are a couple of benches and a public (always has been clean when I've used it) toilet right there. Plus, there's a Japanese vending machine near the batting cages when you need a drink.

Most kids are monitored here, as it's not near a tower or townhouse row. Those quite often are treated as play areas, as they should be, but mom might not be around, just a responsible aged kid.
