Kristin Vrana· a month agoI found this playground because it was a good halfway point between New Orleans and Gainesville, but the current review pics don't do it justice. It's a pretty epic playground for all ages.
Dee Odds· 8 months agoMy goddaugther loves going to the park. There is a splash pad to keep cool. The park is always clean. There are bathrooms too.
Bill Sumner· 7 months agoI was in utter shock when I took my Grandma here. For such a small City, they most certainly have invested in the children which most Florida cities ignore. I highly recommend this park, if I did have a complaint which I don't, it's more of an annoyance. Later in the evening there were a few 16ish kids there using the smaller children's playground items. Not a single teen was rudento any child may I add. I only feel if a 4 year old wanted to use it, let them.
Justin Trimble· 5 years agoGood playground with areas for children from barely walking to probably middle school. Some of the equipment is showing signs of age but nothing dangerous or flat out broken. There are water features but they weren't on when we were there. Bathrooms in the play area are decent. This is attached to a much larger park with lakes, ducks, a bridge, lots of picnic areas, and another small play area great for families.
mark tymon· 4 years agoThe Crestviwe Children's Park is located in the middle of town and easy to access. Located with the sprawling Gwin Hills Park, the Children's park features a seperate fenced in area for children to safely run and play. They have restrooms, playgrounds and an impressive splash pad play area that the kids seem to enjoy, running around and splashing in the water while interacting with other kids. I recommend this spot if you have kids and don't necessarily want to go to a pool or the beach.
