Bottom Line: A wonderful, large playground with lots of shade! Lots of equipment for all ages, swings, slides, play structures, old school merry-go-round. 4/5 stars.
Worth Noting: Port-a-potty on site, no water fountains, area is not enclosed (split rail fence). Smallish parking lot, though you could easily park next door at the public library.
The Review:
One morning early into our summer break, we needed to get out of the house but had nowhere to be. I remembered hearing good things about the Great Falls Grange playground, so we headed out to check it out. The 20ish minute drive from Arlington was worth it – we were all wowed when we got there.
The park has one big structure designed for the 5-12 age group and a smaller structure for 2-5. It also has 4 big swings, 4 baby swings, and a tire swing! The real gem of the park is an old school spin-til-you-fall-off merry-go-round. The kids loved it! I also loved how shady everything was. We had a great time playing until we took a break for lunch. Then my kids were thrilled to be invited to join a kickball game on the field adjacent to playground. Everyone gave the park two thumbs up and gave mommy two thumbs down when she made them leave.
