The Chestnut Playground at White Oak Park is at the park's lower entrance and offers beautiful views of White Oak's wooded hillsides. It was completed in the fall of 2016 and features woodland-themed play structures, including two large structures intended for children 2-5 and for ages 5-12. Perimeter fencing surrounds the playground for added safety, while plenty of benches and picnic tables accommodate seating and picnicking. Chestnut Playground also has flushable restrooms.
The immediate area, adjacent to the playground, is access to a small stream, horseshoe pits, sand volleyball, and bocce courts. Chestnut Shelter is also located in this area and is a perfect rental space for large gatherings. The entire area includes a solar panel parking canopy, which is part of the Allegheny County Net Zero Parks project.
