Huntington Beach Adventure Playground is an adventure playground located within Huntington Beach Central Park in Huntington Beach, California.[1] The first adventure playground in Huntington Beach was established in the 1970s at the bottom of a quarry pit not far from the playground's present site.[2] The original playground included a small shack, office, snack bar, and tool shed.[3] After a number of years in its original location, and a temporary interim nearby due to flooding, the adventure playground was relocated to its present location in 1983. The adventure playground consists of several acres with a shallow pond, treehouses, a "mud park", rafts, rope climbing features, loose parts and scrap wood, and tools.[2] [4]
