That said, it’s still a solid spot for families looking to get outside and play.

The playground renovations have officially been completed! While the park has a fresh new look with updated equipment, many of the unique features that made Mountwell such a favorite have unfortunately been removed. The beloved sandbox and the large collection of community toys (ride-on cars, trucks, diggers, and more) are no longer there. The playground still appears to be gated, though I'm currently unsure whether the front gate has a working latch.

Newly remodeled, and fully gated — which is every parent’s dream!
