Joe Cole Recreation Center Playground

Wonderful park. Large grass areas, lots of picnic tables, a splash park, a large kid play area, and a fenced in play area for kids 2-5. It is also very attractive to walk by at night as the lights have colored filters on them that light/color the park. There are both ramps and stairs which ease access but the parks themselves do not have equipment for all abilities. The downside is the dogs. Every time I’ve visited there are dogs without without leashes. Twice I’ve seen leashless dogs bolt so be aware if visiting.

Very fun Park. Park is for little Kids and big Kids

Been around for a few years and this park just gets worse and worse. Rat infestation, dead decomposing rats smelling awful near the toddler section, trash EVERYWHERE. Why do we have rats? Trash and food everywhere. People hosted a birthday party and left food and chicken bones all over the picnic area. Parents and teachers need to supervise children if they are letting them toss bags of food and smoosh ice cream sandwiches into the turf. Not only that, but teens set off fireworks on random nights all summer and leave expended explosives all over the turf. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Nice lil playground to take kids to play and or hot cool of by the water section

I'd been there a couple times in the past with my kids and never had a problem. Though, we visited it recently and the experience we had wasn't good at all . We had to leave because my daughter and I started to smell Marihuana. At fist I thought it was coming from outside the playground but sadly I came to realize the smell was coming from a group of MOMS -with their kids- that had joined us at the playground.
