Great playground for all kids. A toddler play area and a separate older kids playground for ages 5 and up. Basketball and handball courts. A few water sprinklers. Lots of swings. Plenty of benches for adults. Clean and well padded. Kids had a great time here

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This is an excellent playground for families with children of different ages, offering dedicated toddler areas and older kid zones plus sports courts. It's also great for parents who want to work out while kids play. However, plan bathroom breaks before 4pm or bring backup options due to early restroom closures.

β€œNice playground but so annoying that their restrooms close at 4pm! I was here with my toddler at 5:30pm on a Friday, she needed to use the bathroom and the bathroom was already locked. You’d think that in the summer they’d leave it open until at least 7pm!!! So frustrating! Had to leave the playground and go searching for a restroom.”
