Cougar Run Park

Cougar Run Park is an adorable park right next to Cougar Run Elementary School. The playground is on top of a hill, with multi-purpose fields on the backside of the hill. Parking is available on the street and in two large parking lots, making it easily accessible for large groups to visit. 

The smaller playground features a cougar napping on a small cave next to an adorable chipmunk spring riding toy. Various structures with bright colors, musical instruments, tactile items, and slides ignite imaginative play.

The focal point of the larger playground is a children's rope course designed to resemble a tree. Thick ropes, climbing ropes, ladders, tightropes, and hammocks are around the tree. There is a swinging bridge with two large plastic rocks on either side, a jungle gym, and rope merry-go-round. 

On the south side of the park is another playground, which looks a bit older. A sizeable long structure includes swings, monkey bars, a rope ladder wall, swinging stepping stones, and fireman poles. There are also basketball courts and tetherball poles.
