Bergman Park


Bergman Park offers a very large playground with universal accessibility. There are two swing sets: one with toddler seats, the other with traditional swings and two five-point-harness swings. The larger play equipment has ramps and transfer stations, in addition to challenging rock climbing towers and spiral climbers.

There is a rocking airplane, car, and dinosaur, which are a big hit with the younger set. A digging toy is in one corner of the playground, however this is often flooded with stagnant dirty water. Deep rubber mulch covers the play surface, offering a safe play environment. Be aware that the black rubber mulch can get VERY hot on summer days, and will turn little hands (and faces and legs) black as children play in it.
