Next to the Urban Farm you will find the Scylla Playground, built around a large American Elm tree, on a soft wood chip base. Children can enjoy the spray shower, swings, a slide, and more. An open area with picnic tables to eat lunch after a day of playing makes this a fun location to bring little ones, and the beautiful cottage garden is just a few feet away. Restrooms are also conveniently located nearby.
