Gouglersville Playground
475 Mohns Hill Road, Reading
There are some definite highs and lows to this playground - if I lived around the corner, we would probably pop by quite often, but I definitely wouldn't travel a distance to visit. I enjoyed the variety of pieces of apparatus available. There were eight different slides of varying heights, step stools, ladders, swirly poles, swings, a spiderweb, and a roundabout. A parking lot close by, a shaded pavilion, and nearby port-o-potty round out the thumbs up list. On the downside, it's not huge, some of the equipment seemed a little high/dangerous for toddlers, and one of the four swings was broken. My three year still had a blast, but I wasn't head over heels in love.
There are two toddler swings and two smaller slides but the rest of the equipment might be best for the over-three crowd. At the end of the day, I've seen far worse. This was pretty decent but not impressive. We would be back if we were in the area.
Are there any bathrooms?
Yes, two port-o-potties are available. Both usable but not pristine.
