Liberty Playground in Ocala: Get ready for climbing and problem-solving galore!
The Liberty Community Park in Ocala is a beautiful playground bursting with climbing structures, monkey bars, slides, and other problem-solving equipment.
Visitors will see a toddler playground featuring three short slides, a safe bridge, and stairs.
Tykes are also drawn to the yellow, metal telephone tubes, making it possible for kids to speak to each other across the little structure.
You'll also find a matching-game puzzle, steering wheels, and a climbing ramp - all at a low altitude for toddlers.
Another bonus: Two plastic, red canopies cover the bulk of the structure, which helps with the Ocala heat.
To the left of that structure, you'll find a larger structure for older kids. This extensive part of the playground sports a twisty and regular slide, plus stairs with sidebars for safety.
However, this structure is higher than the toddler playground, making it challenging for small children.
A green plastic canopy covers some of this structure, and kids have their choice of gymnastics-like monkey bars, two metal-chained cargo nets, ladders, slide-down poles, and more.
Fun Fact: The Liberty Community Park earned its name through a public naming contest.
You'll also find a couple of spider net-like structures for additional climbing. And don't forget to try out the four colorful climbing shapes resembling jacks.
My three-year-old adored what we called "chained lily pads" - four plastic circles suspended by chains and metal rods.
On them, kiddos cross and focus on their balance.
Nearby are two more climbing walls and more monkey bars.
Behind the main playground structure, visitors will find a spinning device.
It's similar to a carousel but without the seating (hang on!)
Kids also frolic towards the bucket and traditional swings.
