The Purple Dinosaur Playground was renovated in 2024. This fenced-in playground for younger children (ages 2-5) offers play structures, swings, a picnic table, benches, a sand box, plus an array of dual-functioning play equipment, designed for both physically challenged and able-bodied children. There is also a baseball/softball field on the property. Due to the new rubber surface, outside toys are not allowed on the playground. Adult supervision is required. Also known as the Purple Dinosaur Play Area.

If you’d like to take a walk while you’re in the neighborhood, visit the Ellis Estate Trails nearby.
