And the Town of Cary parks updates roll on: welcome to the completely renovated and now reopened playground at Ed Yerha Park! Formerly White Oak Park, this small park is nestled amongst the trees and between a few neighborhoods in western Cary. (Two throwback photos of what the playground used to look like are included at the end.)
Many changes have happened with this renovation, including:
• A shift from a mulch-based ground to the poured-in squishy ground.
• Shade coverings! (This park was a scorcher in the summer, so hoping these will change this up!)
• A stand-alone mini music center with drums and chimes.
• One of those spin buckets that your kid just loves to be spun in and then walks all dizzy crazy when they get out. 😂
• A few lower-to-the-ground accessible features, including the large swing disk.
• The play structure designed for ages 5-12 is now rope-based.
• A play station in the sand pit. (Sand pit was kept from the old playground.)
A few features remain the same:
• Small covered pavilion with picnic tables right by the playground.
• Another larger covered pavilion with picnic tables and bathrooms not far from the playground and next to a giant field.
• Benches in the playground.
• Pickleball courts.
• Basketball court.
• Greenway access.
And a small other note, the parking lot for this playground is not large so there is always a possibility that it could fill up.
