Hills West Park

This is our neighborhood park, so we visit it quite a bit, even though it isn’t wheel friendly. It’s in a quiet area, and the only streets that come right up to the park are cul-de-sacs. It’s not fenced, but it might still be an ok park if your kid is a runner as long as you keep your eyes peeled and you’re fast enough to catch them. There is a curb/step down into the play area that is particularly unfriendly to wheeled mobility devices of all kinds. We don’t even bring her walker when we go to this park, we usually push her stroller up to the curb and then carry M or hold her hands if she wants to walk.

Big kid playground: yes
Little kid playground: small slide and small steps integrated with the single large play structure
Swings: big kid and baby swings
Musical toys: no
Bathrooms: no
Paved walkways: no (the whole park is grass except for the mulched play area)

Adult seating: one picnic bench
Shade: yes, not over all the play area but at least some part will be in the shade much of the day
Climbing wall: yes, big plastic “rock” without protruding handholds
Fence: no
