Sipping from a plastic cup filled with orange juice, Robbie Perez, 8, needed just one word to describe Deerfield Park’s new playground.
“Cool,” said Robbie, a second-grader at Springbrook Elementary School.
Robbie and about 50 other children Monday eagerly awaited the official opening of the play castle, which includes a 12-foot spiral slide, a tire swing and climbing walls.
Like similar structures in Heritage and Canyon parks, the $100,000 new playground is accessible to disabled children.
