GRANVILLE LOOP PARK PLAYGROUND
The best feature of this playground has to be the bad ass Jeep, perfect for reenacting that scene from Jurassic Park. Fully shaded and located on a hill, this playground is best accessible by bus as free parking around the area is a little hard to come by. I’m not gonna lie, the wooden slats on the play structure feels really old, especially standing on them as an adult. The window panel has seen better days as well, because it’s fully opaque. There’s some open lawn space with hills and dips that can be fun for little kids. Bus lovers can watch buses stop and rest on the south side of the park. There’s also an open fountain on the south side that someone on the internets nicknamed “Stargate” for fun.
