Cloverdale Athletic Park

This is a park that not only has a playground but a waterpark as well. There are several different things at this park that can meet a variety of ages. 

First off there are 8 big kid swings and two baby swings. I find that most parks don't offer quite as many. The swings are on the outer edge of the playground and offer a view of the entire playground. 


There is a jungle gym for older kids that has this really cool tube you can crawl through. There are two slides beside it but they are quite short. There still is one large slide for them to go down. There's a twirly pole which is always a blast. There is also some cool looking monkey bars to climb around. 


For the smaller children, there are two jungle gyms. One really only contains a slide which is a bit boring but it does look like a train engine. The other offers a slide, tic tac toe, and an open area to play. There is even two steering wheels you can use. 


There are two teeter totters for the kids to go on. They are not very high off the ground which seems to be boring. They do have tires under the seats which offers a pretty epic bounce. 


There are three springy seats that are a classic for kids to use. The younger ones hop right in and bounce all around. 


There is this one really fun spinny ride that is guaranteed to make you dizzy. You sit in this thing that looks like a bowl and spin around and around. I always enjoy riding in it but so do the kids. 



There's one more bouncy ride for the kids but it really is only for small kids. You can fit four kids on at once and they can bounce in all kinds of fun and crazy directions. Sadly, it doesn't get much love from the kids. 


There are two cars that can be used to climb around on. Kids can use their imaginations and drive them. The tires are fun to bounce on too. They seem to draw a lot of attention which is neat to watch. It's a good thing there are two of them. 


Finally, there is the waterpark. At first glance, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. There are three water guns but only two of them work. The water guns are quite powerful and reach some good distance. A few of the mist water poles don't work very well and so only have the waterpark is good to play in. 


Being an athletic park, there are a few different sports related areas to enjoy. There is a field where you can play soccer and a second field where you can play baseball. Both fields are large and full of really fresh, green grass. 


There is a basketball court that is right near the waterpark. The court is full of concrete but is fenced in so that the ball doesn't escape. 


Lastly for the athletic side of the park, there is a really big ball hockey court. Again, this is fenced in which is quite handy for those playing. 


The last thing I will mention about this park is that it features a lot of benches. Some of them are covered which is really nice in the summer when you're looking for some shade. Then there are some benches that are uncovered and spread around the playground.
