Reviews
"The dog park has water and things for dogs to climb on/through. There are walking trails and an epic playground, as well as a soccer field."
"Beautiful playground with new structures for kids. Lots of bikes and toys for play. No public restroom."
"Benjamin Banneker Park is a top notch playground for kids. There’s a nice little area for younger kids with a slide, two swings, and a few other things to climb on. A small covered pavilion in the center with just two tables underneath, and 5-6 additional tables out in the open. A small little sand pit in the middle right next to the pavilion. And finally a large structure for the older kids or more adventurous little ones. My 3.5 and 1.5 year old only wanted to play on the large structure because of the slides. Here is why I not gave 4 stars: - The parking near the playground is limited to the street, which is part “permit only” and part 2-hour. It’s confusing because the 2-hour parking has a small stretch of permit-only parking right in the middle of it and someone could easily make a mistake and park in the permitted area by mistake. Also, the 2-hour parking areas are not right in front of the park. - The small pavilion only has two covered tables. The play equipment has no shade at all, so the small pavilion leaves something to be desired. If you’re looking for shade there is a grassy area with plenty of large shady trees, so come prepared with a blanket or chair to sit. - The large play structure has a couple points that made me nervous with my little ones that are just big drop offs with very small platforms to stand on. Yes, my kids were not the age intended for this, so it’s up to me to watch them closely, but the big slides are hard to resist and you really have to be up too with your little ones, from my experience. It is generally easier to get up to some of the slides because there are stairs instead of netting or more complicated climbing, so that is nice making it more accessible to the littles. Just keep a close eye one your kids. This park was a lot of fun and we’ll be back to enjoy it!"
"Great creativity motivation play equipment! Plenty of room to run in grassy fields. Separate areas for younger and older kids. Shaded picnic tables."
"Excellent park that connects to Isaac Crossman Park and the W&OD Trail. Walking trails, soccer field and basketball court can be found, along with a very cool playground. The playground has unique features such as little climbing boulders, spider web net swing, twisty slide, pavilion and more. An added bonus is the playground has extremely bouncy and absorptive rubber flooring that keeps the kids safe!"
