What is tot lot?

A tot lot is a playground specifically designed for young children, typically between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. The equipment in a tot lot is often smaller and easier for toddlers to manage, with features such as low slides, small climbers, and tunnels. The playground surface is also usually made of softer materials to protect children from falls. Tot lots can be found in public parks, community centers, and other recreational areas, and they offer a safe and stimulating environment for young children to play and explore. Some tot lots may also be designed to accommodate children with disabilities and special needs.
