Cousler Park Playgrounds
There are two main playgrounds at Cousler Park. The first playground is very large and includes an accessible play area for younger and older children. “Inspiring Hope” is the name of the main playground. It includes ramps, swings, a seesaw, monkey bars, and more. In the summer, there’s water spray features. Press a button to activate the water spray, but be sure to bring extra clothes if you child loves to play in water.
While the Inspiring Hope playground is the main feature of the park, there is also a smaller playground in the middle of Cousler Park. This part of the playground includes a lot of climbing structures, therefore it is mostly for older children. There is a curved climbing wall, a large rock to scale, and rope climbers.
Where to Park
There are three main parking lots and one small lot available at the park. If you’d like to walk on one of the shorter walking trails, park in the lots along Church Road.

Turn into the park right across from the Christian School of York to get to the main playground areas.
