Officials cut the ribbon on Cool Creek Park’s new state-of-the-art playground, which features the world’s first SOMAStations, designed to encourage adults to be active. Thirteen slides, a play share swing, two disc swings and multiple auditory elements intended to deepen users’ sensory experiences are a few of the playground’s unique offerings.
In addition to the new playground, the 90-acre park has approximately four miles of woodland trails great for jogging, hiking or bird watching. There is also a paved path within the park for bike riders and rollerbladers.
Also on the Cool Creek Park land is the Cool Creek Nature Center, which focuses on educating the importance of native plants and animals in their natural habitat. Cool Creek is open dawn to dusk 365 days a year.
