The Playground at Ideal Park

Restrooms are located nearby the playground.


Something Unique aout Ideal Park
Ideal Park was initially developed in the 1930s, prior to the incorporation of the City, and is one of the oldest parks within the City.

In July 2014 the park was hit by a tornado, resulting in the loss of over 90% of the park's trees, many of which were 100 to 300 years old.
