There were several sections of the playground, and it was a bit overwhelming at times. The largest piece of climbing equipment was nature themed with furry animals like squirrels built into the structure meant to resemble a hollowed out tree. There was a lot to explore, but I'm sure it was particularly fun – sort of a curiosity rather than a play thing.
