Play equipment for ages 2-5 and small (fenced in) open space play

Shade Sail Efforts:
As of July, 2005, and for several years preceding, there
have been grassroots efforts to plant shade trees and
build a shade sail structure at the Carrboro Town Commons
playground to provide some shade for children playing
there. For more information about fundraising
efforts for the shade trees and shade sail, visit www.carrboroparks.org.
