★★★★★Featured review by AMF

Seven minute walk from the hospital in case you need to entertain young children during a crisis. Across the street from the Edgecombe correctional facility and transition housing. If you are visiting this amazing neighborhood visit here to enjoy a well maintained playground with a variety of dry and wet play activities. Fun for everyone. Accessible for the young and old.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers through school-age children who want a safe, enclosed playground with inclusive design. The sprinklers make summer visits worthwhile and the turf extends usability into cooler months. Check bathroom hours before late visits — facilities reportedly close earlier than the playground itself.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Fully enclosed perimeter means young children cannot wander — one entry point to monitor
⏰Summer sprinklers are the key seasonal draw — visit on warm days to make the most of them
đŸŽŸī¸Artificial turf stays usable after rain when other playgrounds turn muddy
🚗Check bathroom hours before late-afternoon visits — facilities close earlier than the playground

“Amazing park for children of all ages and disabilities. Fully enclosed parked with sprinklers during the summer and an open field with artificial grass to run around on. Fantastic park for autistic children and wheelchair users.”

“Good park. Good parents. Good Teachers. Careless dog owners. People bring their dogs off leash so be careful. Careful of the tree plots, dogs use them and owners don't clean up.”
