Its <br />playground was assembled by staff in 1985. Wooden timbers (6" x 6") bound the play area and the <br />play area is not accessible via an ADA path. The playground uses pea gravel for surfacing. <br />The playground consists of a single wooden play structure with a tire swing and a metal pull-up bar. <br />The tire itself is in good condition, but the chain it is attached to is fairly rusted and worn. The top <br />surface of the play structure consists of five parallel wooden planks, all of which are fairly loose <br />(with the exception of the second -to -rightmost plank). There are two means of entry, neither of <br />which are ADA-compliant. One is a ladder with two metal bars serving as steps. The other is a <br />curved surface with narrow gaps for footholds, comprised of eight wooden planks, all of which are <br />fully attached. The flat surface between this surface and the top surface (which is three inches above <br />this surface) is comprised of six wooden planks (none of which are fully secured) perpendicular to <br />those on the top surface and parallel to those on the curved surface. There is a single straight metal <br />slide, which is in fair condition, (however it is South facing, which is not desirable). <br />Figure 24: Autumn Heights Park Playground <br />11 <br />
