πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This modern playground works well for toddlers and young children, especially those who enjoy water play features. The equipment is well-designed and safe, but parents should come prepared for maintenance issues including dirty bathrooms and litter cleanup. Best suited for families who prioritize play equipment over pristine facilities.

β€œNew playground with shade, a water feature and lots of well designed structures and equipment. It’s right by the bridge so not the most low key (and probably the pollution ain’t great for kids) but it’s a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The bathrooms are often used by the nearby homeless encampment so you can guess they’re not the cleanest”

β€œMy toddler loves coming here. She always has the best time in the sprinters, or climbing and I feel the physical space is safe for her. I do find myself cleaning up garbage at times while I’m chasing her and there are always so many balloons on the floor which are a choking hazard for my little one. I also wish they had swings.”

β€œBathroom was too dirty to use and there is no changing table. But the playground itself was nice, relatively new equipment, great for my toddler/younger kids. Splash pad was clean and it's a little separated from playground if you don't want to get wet. The cars from BQE can be noisy tho.”
