Hammond Park - Sandy Springs Playground



This playground has the basic slides and everything..umm its highly OK. There's not much challenging for the kids and the thing that i did not like was the fact they did not keep the average height of toddlers in mind & the walking spaces were not at appropriate height. The other thing is that the walking space just before you slide down has small leaf shape like grooves..which a toddler could grab onto to support itself while walking are quite sharp and could hurt their soft fingers. Behind the infant-toddler park is a playground for big kids. There is a small sandpit in between the two playgrounds. There is also dogwalking trail which i felt was the only plus of the playground. The big kid playground is quite similar to the campbell high school park but the only difference was that this one felt much dirtier !! Even the picnic shelters near by were quite dirty & somehow there was just a rotten smell near the big kid playground. Did not seem hygenic at all !!
