The Candlelight Oaks playground is one of the jewels of our neighborhood.

Featuring a rock wall, multiple slides, monkey bars, and more, the Candlelight Oaks playground was designed by kids for kids through a Kaboom! grant. It also features a BBQ area with cute tables for parents to rest and watch their children play.

The playground is open during daylight hours and designed for use by all Candlelight Oaks residents. The parking lot is accessible from Tidwell, just west of Bolivia.
