If parking wasn’t so hard, this would be a 3.5-4. My kid goes to a dance class down the street, and this is actually pretty decent as far as playgrounds go - it’s a nice addition to the itinerary where I can add on the playground after her dance class. The grounds are fully enclosed, there are two sections for bigger kids and little kids, and the bathrooms are close by and clean. You can also get boba and donuts down the street for pretty cheap at TY sandwhiches. If you go a little futher there’s Excelsior Coffee.
