Playground at the Sandra Moon Community Complex

At the new playground, children will discover a rocket ship, climbing and play structures, slides, swings, a merry-go-round and a sensory wave arch — among other fun activities.

Adults will find ample benches and sunshades, along with plenty of convenient parking. The park is fully fenced, ADA accessible and is one of many recreational activities available at the Sandra Moon Community Complex.

“This ADA-accessible playground is a testament to our commitment to ensuring that every member of our community, regardless of ability, can partake in the simple joys of play.”

James Gossett, director Huntsville Parks & Recreation Department

The master plan for the Sandra Moon Community Complex

The $740,000 playground is included in Phase 3 of the City’s master renovation plan for the Sandra Moon Community Complex. It includes a generous $180,000 donation by Madison County Commissioner Phil Riddick.

“The most wonderful Christmas gift is seeing a community come together to support our quality-of-life programs and amenities for our families. When complete, the Sandra Moon Community Complex will be a destination for learning, the arts, recreation and play. The best is yet to come!”

Dr. Jennie Robinson, Huntsville City Councilor, District 3
