About Maplewood Park
With both a splash pad and lake, water lovers will rejoice.
The park also includes a variety of athletic fields, a walking path, and a playground.
Trail Difficulty: Easy
The Playground at Maplewood Park
The signage on the playground has one section as 2+ and another as 5+, but it is one big unit.
There is not a separate toddler playground.
The uppermost levels of the play structure have open spaces to climbers that may make parents of toddlers nervous.
The surface is recycled tires.
The Splashpad at Maplewood Park
Open Memorial Day-Labor Day and completely fenced in.
There are some picnic tables nearby - a few are shaded.
There are plenty of grassy areas for picnic blankets.
The smaller toddler toys are on one end of the pad and taller dump buckets and squirters are on the other.
The Walking Path at Maplewood Park
A relatively flat 1-mile long paved pathway goes around the lake.
