This is such a wonderful park that unfortunately isn't taken care of by its community. There is graffiti and trash around the playground - which is such a cool and unique playground! It seems better for older kids but our toddlers had fun climbing all over and enjoying the full park grounds. There are restrooms but unfortunately they are closed seasonally (such a per peeve of mine!). Overall worth a visit but I hope it gets cared for properly.

My park connoisseurs are 7 and 9 years old. We were visiting from out of state and were recommended this park because of how unique and exciting it was. THAT IT WAS! we have never seen equipment like this! The concrete slide was fast and fun! (Too fast for littler kids… super fun for Mom- who actually fit!) The 3-4 story jungle gym was scary to my 7yo, who was afraid of falling through the rope gaps, but my 9yo loved it. The spinny things were fast and smooth. The new age teeter-totter was too enticing not to try out myself (even 70yo Nana gave it a whirl!) Kids loved it too. Overall, this park might be too advanced for kids under age 7 to explore on their own, but if you have kids 7+ it’s fun for the whole family! (Just don’t let them play unsupervised!) Also to note, plenty of parking and neighborhood felt safe. The only restrooms I noticed were porta-potties though.

Amazing park, huge space and really awesome climbing tower that is larger than you'd think with both easy and harder routes for kids to try.

I’ve never been to a park like this before! Definitely not for very little kids (my almost four year old climbed up to the top but needed help), but the challenge is what makes it so fun! There are endless things to climb, and a fun hidden place to play in every corner.
