★★★★★Featured review by Shukhrat Maks

Very nice family park for kids. There are several playgrounds in the area and space for picnics with seating. Right next door is the admission for the small zoo that includes the carousel and train ride which is fun for the kids too. They maintained good safety precautions with social distancing and sanitizing the train seats after every ride. The price is good for the attractions.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Van Saun Park's playground works well as both a standalone visit and as part of a longer day combining the zoo, carousel, and train. Toddlers and young children are well-served by the age-appropriate equipment and open space. The playground stays open past zoo hours, so families can extend the visit after the zoo closes.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡The playground stays open after the zoo and carousel close — useful for extending the outing
⏰Confirm the splash zone is operational before visiting on a hot day — it has had seasonal closures
đŸŽŸī¸Restrooms are conveniently located adjacent to the play area
🚗Pack a picnic — seating areas are available and well-placed for watching kids play

“My son is young, only 13 months. There are tons of options for him here. Some parks focus on bigger kids, this has options for a wider age group. I've come several times this summer, and it's never empty. Even when its busy you can find a spot. The energy of other people around is a nice back drop and helps the baby socialze. Its a good park. Come and visit!”

“Great playground part of van saun park. Multiple jingle gym designed for different age groups. Bathrooms nearby. Maps says it's closed by 430 but that must be referring to the zoo/train/carousel because I was there way pay 430 as was others.”

Reviews from Google

Overview

Van Saun Park's playground offers equipment scaled for both toddlers and older children across a large, well-maintained space. A seasonal splash zone adds water play in warmer months. Restrooms and picnic seating are on-site. The adjacent zoo, carousel, and train rides operate on their own schedule and admission, extending the outing well beyond playground time. The playground itself remains open past zoo closing hours, making it a standalone destination even when other attractions wrap up.
