Absolutely love this place. My kids have so much fun playing. I will be coming back again.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for mixed-age groups where adults want active engagement alongside kids. The lawn games keep parents and older children occupied as younger kids use the play structures. The Monon Trail access makes it a natural stop on a longer outdoor outing.

Really cool area for kids and adults alike. Plenty to do for all ages and abilities. Shuffleboard and ping pong with all accessories were easily available. We spent a good amount of time just hanging out as a family and enjoying playing games.

This is a very nice playground. It’s small, but the equipment is great. Shuffleboard, bocce, ping pong, and a charging station.
