The playground is surrounded by mature trees and offers shaded areas and a pavilion nearby.

The public is invited to attend a ribbon-cutting on Saturday, Apr. 30, 2022, at 11 a.m. at Aberdeen Park, located at 1401 Shetland Drive.
The all-inclusive playground was made possible thanks to the collaboration of St. Johns County Parks and Recreation, Northwest Tower Committee, the Field of Dreams Board of Directors, members of the Creeks Athletics Association, parents, coaches, and volunteers.
