In 2026 I returned to Bella Vista Park for the first time since 2011, and was surprised to see it looking pretty much exactly the same. The DangerSlide is still present, and perhaps the biggest difference is in that area -- they've replaced the shiny slopes with green golf-course-looking stuff, and have added some bursts of color. The whole place is still holding up nicely after fifteen years.
Hollybrook Park, adjacent to Hollydale Elementary School, appears to have received a full overhaul since my last visit in 2011. Previously boasting a wood/navy blue/yellow aesthetic with hints of lavender, the playground now consists of a turquoise, gray, and chartreuse palette. Highlights include a 4-person bouncy ride, musical instruments, and a variety of climbing structures and textures.
