My granddaughter and I had a ball. She met a lot of friends older and younger she's 9. People are weird these days but they didn't interfere with playtime. There are fun slides and the play area keeps them busy. There are shaded ares to sit and to cool down. There's a splash park that will be active soon. You and your family will have a great place for your child to burn off energy.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with mixed-age children â the under-4 zone handles toddlers, and slides and splash features keep older kids busy. The shaded seating makes longer visits comfortable for caregivers. Bring bug spray for late-summer visits.

âWonderful playground with lots to do and a play area especially for kids under 4 which was really nice. And they have a splash area with fountains and the kids loved it. I will definitely take them here again. I recommend.â
