John Waples Memorial Playground

Fun place for the kids with a covered gazebo to sit and watch when not playing with them. Water fountain provided for hot days. Kids loved all the toys in the sandbox. There was even a book exchange for story time under the gazebo.

Great clean park, has a sandbox and are for smaller children. Bonus for the adults, you can hear the band from north beach.

Such a fun little park! There is a play area for toddlers and a larger playground for the older kids. There’s a huge sandbox with a ton of toys!

Great park!
I met one of the people in charge of the park. Great guy and he has great ideas. The people in charge really think of ways of always improving it.

There are a lot of toys for kids to play with. Stop by if you have a kid or toddler, they will have fun.

Great area for the kids to play. Honestly though be mindful of the gazebo. Anecdotally it's easy for parents to let their guard down while sitting in there and I've heard of various falls/ trips happening in the gazebo as a result. Rest of the park is perfect, and the gazebo isn't a death trap, just make sure to control any play happening in there.

A smallish, cute, fenced-in playground area. It's not the biggest or newest playground around but the equipment is sturdy, the sandbox has lots of shovels and buckets and you're only steps from the beach. Glad we found this spot 👍

Great functional playground. Swings, sandbox, slides, a bit of room to run around, plenty of benches for parents. My only pet peeve is no shade over sandbox

Such a great gem in the heart of Dewey's Bayside. Nearby, there is parking, a small nature preserve, and a great bench for taking in the bay breezes.

We were looking for something to do with the grandchildren. It was so windy we could not enjoy the beach. Happened upon this playground. They had a great time!

Nice spot to take the kids in Dewey.

Cute little playground! Fun things for kids to play with.

Great fun and a great park. Very nice, clean , lots to do!

The sandbox makes this park! My kids want to go to "sandbox park" every day!

Just a heads up to anyone. This park is actually open during all of the bs covid policy

Clean, safe and modern. Loved the visit.

Great playground. The sandbox and toys were a wonder surprise

Nice playground, fenced in, only downside is no bathroom

Chill little park at the BEACH where you can take a break from the ocean and let your kids run around and play on the playground.

Great place to take the family with clean beaches

My son and now his sons love to play here.
