(They are merged into one) However, it is in the middle of a lot of trees and woods so mosquitoes and insects will ruin your day. (Bring bug spray for best experience) I also ask that you guys add some lights so we can actually see the ball once it gets dark (me and my friend had a hard time with this once) The playground is SPLENDID. They improved it recently as of 2025. Now it is new and fun. Compared to the playground in like 2017. There's a dog park. Volleyball spot near the dog park. I don't know. The place is such a VIBE."

The playground has a lot of good accessibility features like ramps and 0 entry playground areas but I think it sacrifices some more adventurous play areas to have room for that"

Queeny is always a beautiful park for long or short hikes, depending on your mood. There are a couple of water features like ponds that are very nice and some steep hills depending on your trail. The loop that goes around the equestrian area has a field of wild flowers and grass and it’s really scenic. Tons of animals, especially deer, and I missed a picture of a falcon on this day! Definitely recommended!"
