The park is located at the existing Rabb Park, off of HWY 79 and A.W. Grimes Blvd.
PHOTO REVIEW
The park itself, which is gated in for the protection of the children, has a variety of activities ranging from traditional playscape style setups (including wheelchair accessible swings!), but adds an atmosphere of a mini-city as well. There is a grocery store, house, library, car dealer, fire station, medical clinic, and music stage (complete with instruments that really work). There are street lights, stop signs, miniature roads for big wheel type riding, and of course there are rest room facilities. These photos depict some of the park's features and activities.
