Adventure Playground is a wonderful playing experience for children 6-12 years old. Kids can raft on a small pond, navigate a rope bridge, use a cable slide, go down a mudslide, and build forts. Children must wear tennis shoes and be prepared to get dirty. It is only open from mid-June through mid-August of each year (exact dates may change each year). Adult supervision is required and a small fee is charged. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. Play ends at 3:40 pm for cleanup. Enter from the Central Library parking lot.
