Simonds Park: 20190 - 48 Avenue (48th & Grade)

Aunt here: Simonds Park is connected to Simonds Elementary School.
Bethany here: there is a place for little kids, it's made of plastic and it's very nice. There were slides and between the big kids park and the little kids park there's some monkey bars and across from the monkey bars there are some swing sets. The big kids park I liked a lot. It has lots of things you can swing on and I liked dumping rocks down the wide slide. It's made of wood and metal and there are two sets of monkey bars. In another area, there's more plants & stuff. There are little paths including some bridges and in the spring time it looks like there'd be a little creek that would flow under the bridge. The park is very safe, there is fencing around it (even around the creek / path areas). The little kids park has wood chips and the monkey bars, swing sets and the big kids park have smooth rocks under so they're not unsafe or anything. There is a pathway that leads out of the school grounds, so I'd suggest you keep an eye on your kids. It's attached to a school, but the school might be closed in the summer (there might be a preschool in there). There are bathrooms if the school is open.
There is some shade, but it's a little distance from the playground. There was no graffiti and there was no garbage or anything your kids might pick up that is unsafe.

There was a soccer field if you're not interested in a playground, and there was a baseball field and a basketball court as well.


I thought the park was really fun, especially the big kids park because I like climbing and I love monkey bars and I also have always enjoyed dumping rocks down slides. It's a nice place for going if you're bored, there's plenty of stuff to do there. I would love to go back to this park, and i would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

Matthias here: I liked throwing stones down the slide. I also liked that it had two separate things, and I liked the swing set, and that it had lots of playground equipment.
