Margie L. Rice Park

This playground is great! Clean, fairly new, and with a fire truck theme, there is an excellent variety of structures for kids to play on. It probably helps that there is a real fire station across the street.

Visited this park over the weekend and had a very fun time. The park size is small, much smaller now that a part of the park has been fenced off due to freeway construction and etc. Having said that, there is a very nice playground for the kids. Everything was good except more attention needs to be paid to keep the park clean. Oh, the park is like overrun with gophers. Saw at least two dozens during our short time there.....

Pros: Fun fire station themed playground with 3 slides, 2 twirlers, 2 bucket swings, 2 elem school age swings, and 2 springing rockers. Spacious enough to run around and play tag on. Love how it faces an actual fire station! A few shaded picnic tables on the side. Cons: A few benches however I wish they faced the playground head on rather than being on the other side, closer to the loud freeway. Most parents stand to watch kids.

Nice, little, fire truck themed playground fronting a fire station. Firefighters waved at the kids as they pulled out of the driveway (non-emergency, no sirens). Be careful walking on the grass as there are a lot of squirrel burrows. Small but good enough for a neighborhood playground.

Decent park with a cool fire truck theme playground! Plenty of street parking. My only complaint is how close the playground is to the street and how fast some cars drive by. A small fence would’ve made it feel a bit safer.
