About the Playful Dragon Pocket Park Playground
The Playful Dragon Pocket Park playground is a brand new park that opened in the May of 2021. If your child loves dragons then they are going to love this park. The gigantic and friendly beast invites visitors to climb inside via his amazing climbing wall wings and also through the metal bar tail. Then, slide down it’s giant red twisted tongue slide.
This unique statute/playspace was made possible in part with a $65,000 Play Everywhere Challenge grant from KaBOOM! and also the Built to Play initiative supported by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, in addition to $65,000 of in-kind work and materials provided by Pulte.
