We hadn't come for the splash pad. We came with a picnic. Unfortunately, there were no picnic tables. I suppose we could have eaten on the tables in the community center, but the boss would have none of it! We ended up eating our picnic while sitting on the floor of the neighborhood center's porch. This was the ONLY shaded area in the park.

After lunch we went exploring. Smoke Bomb was very excited about the playground. He was very brave and had many personal successes in bravery. It wouldn't be an appropriate playground for any children who are not sure footed. It probably meant for kids 6 and over.

Next, we went to explore the "Dino Dig Area." There was a neat little play thing that you could make music with (see left side of picture). Where are the dinosaurs you ask? All dug up apparently. It's just a sand pit now.

Next up? Swings. My little man hasn't quite gathered the guts to ride regular swings and insisted on the baby swing. The latch was broken, but honestly - it was overkill for Smoke Bomb anyway.

Man is it HOT in South Carolina!! We had to take a break in the neighborhood center. This center was GREAT! There were tables, a TV, two computers, foosball table, billard table, books, puzzles, games, snack/drink machines, and CLEAN bathrooms! We hung out and played many games and watched some TV while we cooled off. There were other boys from around the neighborhood hanging out. Most of them were in middle or high school. One even joined us in a game of Candy Land. A lady from Parks & Rec showed up and told them they could set up a flag football game and they got super excited! In no time, they were set up with Gatorade and everything! I'm not exactly sure if it was city sponsored, but it should have been!
Overall this park was pretty great. We even took Smoke Bomb's bike out of the trunk. He tooled about on the walking track.
Happy Exploring!
