Mankas Neighborhood Park

It's a little playground next to a elementary school. Quite a few people walk their dogs through the park. It connects one neighborhood to another.

This is an amazing park. Always very clean! I wish it had bathrooms but overall great!

Fun but in the pictures they show a ride on/sit on lady bugg my daughter was dissappointed it was not there

This is a nice park with water features for the kids to play with. There is a pillar with a black top. Just jiggle the black top and the water starts. It cycles through the three water features and shuts off based on a timer.
Water features:
There is a row of water streams that shoot out of the ground at an angle. You can run through them, reflect water off of your hand to get others wet, cover a jet steam so there is more water pressure in other streams... and more.

There are two water cannons facing each other. You can try to shoot each other or spray other kids that are in the area. If you angle your canon too far from center, it shuts off and more pressure is routed to the other canon.

There is a small cluster of streams that shoot straight up in the air. You can run and jump through the streams or play on the turtle next to it as water crashes down on you.

Next to all the water features is a play ground, swings and climbing rock. The climbing rock has many angles and routes to climb, including areas underneath to run and hide. Swing set includes two adult swings and two child swings.

The play ground looks fun at first sight but it is deceptive. There are three really tall slides that would be a lot of fun if they weren't a million degrees in warm weather. Forget about using them if the weather is hot by any means. There is a climbing wall and rope ladder as well as stairs to gain access to the higher levels. This is a nice feature and accommodates a variety of skill levels. There is also a bridge to walk across and monkey bars to play with. There is also a variety of toys to interest smaller children on the ground or those not feeling like climbing. Marble mazes and spinning letter blocks amongst other options.

Id give this park a perfect score if it wasn't for the sun exposure. There are a lot of shady parts but the entire play area is exposed to the sun and it makes it unbearable in the hotter days and the slides become unusable after noon. In addition to this, I heard there is no bathroom at the location but I haven't looked to see for myself. Other than that, a free park with water toys is a destination that shouldn't be missed.

Pretty clean park with nice big grass area. Play structure is good... To bad the 2 big slides were broken. Cool creek running by that younger kids will enjoy.
