Cammy Rose· 3 years agoAll around this playground was a fun experience for my 9-year-old my 7 year old and my 18-month-old also my 33-year-old husband left playing and climbing around with our kids swinging playing hide and go seek and even playing on the memory game on the first level of playground please take the chance to go ahead and climb up there with your kids and go down a slide it is definitely a park we love coming to even though it's an over an hour drive away we still enjoy it beautiful nice area getting built up in but it is nice to be there and very clean
Edward Blunt· 6 years agoThe playground was really nice. It has some shade structures over most of the equipment. There is a 3 floor tower with some interactive games, climbing nets and several slides. There are several swings, including swings where kids can sit in their parents lap and swing. There is a nice toddler area that has spider web, games, and a small tower. The rec center is still under construction. It doesn't impede the playground, but something to be aware of. Other than that, there arent any accessible bathrooms when the rec center is closed right now. But, that could be remedied when the construction is finished.
