Best for kids ages 4-12 who love running around and splashing in water sprinklers during summer. Open space playground with pram access, though cleanliness can be an issue.

★★★★★Featured review by Doctor Def

Great space for kids ages 2-12 to run and play tag, fitted with a water sprinkler system for the summer time. It's a great place to take your kid for a spontaneous day of play, not so great for a planned event space.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with kids ages 4-12 who want a space for active play and water fun during summer. The sprinkler system is the main draw, but parents should be prepared for potential cleanliness issues and lack of traditional playground equipment for younger children.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring sun protection - no shade available in summer
Check playground area for dog waste before letting kids play
🎟️Better for spontaneous visits than planned events
🚗Pack water play clothes for the sprinkler system

Walked to chill because I had some time to kill. Pretty clean and nice. But on the outskirts you can tell the homeless people gather here at night

Observe some dog poop around park and on the play ground, disappointed , park nice bit small , people shouldn’t leave their dog waste behind specially where your own kids play

It's a nice hidden area with a water sprinkler that not many ppl know about but unfortunately it's getting dirty with a lot of trash lately... (No hiding shade in a summer)
