Didn't even feel like I was in the city

Nice playground! We were disappointed that the sprinklers weren't on but the kids still had fun.

My daughters and I like this park. There's a lot of trees around, so we don't get direct sun on us. The two parts of swings are plenty and awesome, so kids don't get upset about no swings left. We usually make picnics around so we can be close to the playground.

Cute spacious playground with a public restroom.

Lovely playground! We went pretty late in the day, so everything was a bit soggy. Probably better to arrive around midday. Still, the hippos delighted my kids, and there are enough additional climbing apparatuses to ease some of the crowding on the hippos.

It’s a very shady playground for summer or sunny day. There are sandbox, slides, swings, and water play with the hippos in the summer. There are bathrooms and water, so it will be convenient for potty training for my little one. The only thing about it is that there were mosquitoes when we were there. So bring bug spray would be a good idea.

Nice park good for kids 1 year and older the only thing that dislike is that as a big rock formation water fountain that for a small kid could be dangerous you have to look out for young kids not to get hurt. But besides that I enjoy every little thing about that Park well my son does lol lol
