This playground is my favorite! There is always on the street parking. There is a big sandlot, a sand play area next to it, a toddler playground, a big kids' playground, toddler and big kid swings, a water play area and public restrooms with a water fountain! There are benches for parents to sit in each area. There is a small basketball court. There are monkey bars, slides and a seesaw. There are many shaded areas. The grounds are always clean. This playground has something for everyone, which means time for parents to play with their children, read, chat and relax!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children 6 and under who want water play, sand, and climbing in one outing. The shaded sandbox and splash pad combination handles hot summer days effectively. Supervise infants closely near the splash bucket — the timed dump surprises younger kids. Free entry and available street parking make it an easy repeat destination.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

⏰Bring swimwear and a towel for the splash pad section

“Fantastic toddler park. 2 jungle gym, splash pad, sand pit, swings, and bathroom. Park is designed for 6 and under I would say. Both jungle gyms are modern design with a lot of the same features you find at all city parks. Splash pad is the best thing here. Tons of water spraying around for kids to run through. Concrete so wear shoes, but very clean. Be cautious with real little kids as the giant bucket of water drops every 5 min or so and an infant could be knocked over very easily.”

“This is our favorite playground! There is a water area where the kids can get soaked. There is a large sandbox that has an umbrella providing a shaded area for play. There is a toddler playground section. A playground area for older children. There are swings--infant/toddler and regular. There is a public restroom and water fountain. Finally, there are many benches for the parents to rest and relax. Enjoy!”

“Nice park, lots of variety, as it has a sand box area, playground, swings, and splash pad. The entire playground is mostly shaded, which is nice in the summer.”

Reviews from Google

Overview

Adams Park packs a heated splash pad, umbrella-shaded sandbox, two jungle gym zones, and a full swing set into a well-maintained outdoor space. Separate areas for toddlers and older kids reduce conflict. On-site bathrooms and a water fountain add practical convenience. A large splash bucket dumps every five minutes — the main splash pad highlight for kids.
