Pasteur Park playground packs a punch! Seriously though, this playground provides some modern equipment in a classic park setting. The 'modern equipment' includes a variety of climbing and traversing options with a small play structure. There is a good variety of swings (toddler, adaptive, belt seat, and tire) as well as a small water spray feature. The setting is pastoral and classic: the play surface is wood chips and there are a few benches for seating and trees for shade. The play area is not fully enclosed but it is fenced from the street and the rest of the park. Somewhat modern equipment with some classic amenities in a park-like setting make this a great playground; highly recommend.

Strohacker Park is a moderate sized neighborhood park with a nice playground on the northern edge. The playground is divided into two main sections - one for younger children and one for older - with a water spray feature between them. Both sections feature modern and standard equipment including slides, climbing elements, and monkey bars. The water spray area features recently updated elements including the 'loch ness mister' and misting poles. The non-play elements are standard but nice - there are some wooden benches around both play areas (though there could be more seating) and the play surface is wood chips. Both sections get good shade and a park building should provide access to bathrooms and a drinking fountain (when open). All in all, this is a good neighborhood playground.
