* Gateway Park - Dora Way Playground
    A true neighborhood playground with access and ADA parking, Gateway Park was completed in 2000. Several play pieces including climbing structures and an old-fashioned carousel. Enjoy the picnic table, as well. Follow Bear Drive, west to it's end at Phoenix. Turn right on Phoenix past the old Jesse Lee Home abandoned orphanage. Turn left onto Dora way, and the playground sits in the crook of the first turn, before the uphill climb. Keep your eyes opened for bear or moose. No sidewalk access. As with all SPRD playgrounds, adult supervision is strongly recommended.
