Billy Johnson Playground

For children of all ages, this playground is just north of the Children's Zoo. It is one of the most beautifully landscaped playgrounds with many rustic features, a stone bridge, a 45 foot-long spiral granite slide, an amphitheater-like seating area, gazebo, toddler swings, a water feature, and two picnic tables.

Renovated in 1985, this playground is unique in design. It incorporates a number of horticultural features, creating a rustic cool atmosphere. The playground equipment is constructed of white cedar.

Note: There are no trash receptacles inside the playgrounds. Please deposit all trash in receptacles outside playgrounds and help us keep play areas free of rodents.
