One word to describe Ryckman: Perfection
Three separate age appropriate playgrounds for littles, middles, and olders. The smaller playgrounds have a limited number of “exits” which makes it perfect for your little one to safely play without the panic of having to run from side to side to cover up the no railing sections. If your child prefers to swing, there’s plenty to choose from! Infant bucket swings, regular swings, and even an infant/adult swing!
Don’t forget the sports equipment while visiting this park. Basketball courts, tennis courts and bocce ball all have space to play.
The pavilions make for a great spot to meet friends or have a picnic. Pack your own blanket or chairs since picnic tables are not found at Ryckman.
