Gretna Heritage Playground

Its a playground. The rubber floors are covered in mulch so the kids know the pain of falling and getting splinters. The plastic playground equipment is dark in color and has very little shade so that little legs can feel the sweet sting of Louisiana summer upon them as they squeak down the slide and blister in enjoyment.
I am not really that overbearing, I had a rusty swingset with monkey bars when I was a kid and only got 5 concussions and I turned out fine. My nephew really likes this place and there is always people there so it is definitely needed here.

This new playground is a great little place for kids in Gretna to play to their little hearts’ content. There are three separate play structures– two for preschoolers and toddlers and one for ages 5−12− as well as a set of swings, a seesaw and the safest merry go round you will ever see in your entire life (I’m serious– the thing is a single piece of plastic like a giant bowl with molded seats– nothing to get caught on or anything.) Because all of the playground equipment is brand new, it’s in great shape.
The ground material in the playground area is soft wood chips– watch out if you have a thrower (we have to tell our munchkin to not throw the wood chips every once in a while– it’s apparently really, really tempting)
There’s lots of room for kids to run around and burn off excess energy, and there are benches for parents to sit and chill while watching the kids go wild. There’s an art thingy recently added– made by local school kids– at the side of the park, so yay! for extra visual interest!
The biggest disadvantage is a lack of shade– so during hot summer days it’s not a good idea to head to the playground. Go in the mornings or late evenings in summer and save the afternoon trips to Gretna Heritage Playground for the cooler months of the year.
