Read more about Prairie Gateway Open SpaceUpdated review: The neighborhood got a new playground. It's nice but it's mostly for ages 5+. Still no restrooms. 2 picnic tables and 1 trashcan present. There is a large soccer field and the grass is wonderfully kept - no weeds, no bald spots, no problems. Small basketball court present as well.
