Joseph H. Cole Recreation Center

"Wonderful park. Large grass areas, lots of picnic tables, a splash park, a large kid play area, and a fenced in play area for kids 2-5. It is also very attractive to walk by at night as the lights have colored filters on them that light/color the park. There are both ramps and stairs which ease access but the parks themselves do not have equipment for all abilities. The downside is the dogs. Every time I’ve visited there are dogs without without leashes. Twice I’ve seen leashless dogs bolt so be aware if visiting."

"Nice lil playground to take kids to play and or hot cool of by the water section"

"The Joseph Cole Recreation Center is a large public space in Trinidad by the Wheatley Campus. It's a wide, gated space with a splash park, two playgrounds (none have big slides), picnic tables and paths. It's a popular place for families and dog walkers. There are NO public restrooms so plan accordingly."

"Great splash park and two playgrounds, one for littler kid and one for bigger kids. Clean and really nice place for kids to play."

"I'd been there a couple times in the past with my kids and never had a problem. Though, we visited it recently and the experience we had wasn't good at all . We had to leave because my daughter and I started to smell Marihuana. At fist I thought it was coming from outside the playground but sadly I came to realize the smell was coming from a group of MOMS -with their kids- that had joined us at the playground."
