We also have a play area with swing set and slide for the children. A favorite is a tree swing that can be enjoyed by all.
Bikes/Trikes (we have helmets)and outside toys for the children to use and play with. We also have fishing poles to use and worms, and life jackets, but do require an adult down at the pond when fishing.
