Overall assessment: Well considering I live with a monkey, the rock climbing wall was absolutely a hit at this park. We had to set boundaries like 'no climbing over the top unless there is someone to help you on both sides' which meant that this trip there was only scaling the wall and scampering back down the same side. The slides are all easy for those who climb stairs to access. It took me a while to figure out what the slanted triangle thing was for....I tried bouncing on it, spinning it etc. until finally I just Googled it and discovered it's simply to practice balancing on (or parkour as I did while running around chasing a preschooler for fun).
