Playground Review: St. Charles Neighborhood Playground

This is a fantastic playground, especially if you’re in the mood for breaking some rules.  😉  Seriously, it is clearly posted in the parking lot that this huge playground is for residents of the St. Charles neighborhood only.  However, I think as long as you don’t throw rocks or show up with a playgroup with 15 kids, you should be fine.  But you’ve been warned.
