Rochester, MN Parks - Parkwood Hills

People mover being cranked on the right side.

Climbing corner with a fire pole. Sliders(above) were very difficult to move.

Very different playground with a people mover platform powered by kids (or adults). Not a ton to do at this one, but they kept going back and forth taking turns moving each other. Gorgeous park surrounding with walking paths. There is a port-a-potty located at the parking lot.
