One of the most massive playgrounds in the city, this feels like a hidden gem. A hit with older kiddos who love to run freely!

Wow wow wow! This playground felt like a hidden gem discovery. First, it’s massive and enclosed, so if your kiddo happens to be a track star and has the zoomies, they can run their heart’s desire. Secondly, there is a very wide range of playsets that caters to every age, and pretty much could challenge every age. Older kiddos would be sure to remain entertained and there are bucket swings and ride on toys that cater to young infants as well. The grounds are a little worn, with the rubber broken in patches but one can overlook that when your kids are running along the elevated paths and then run along the grounds, having the time of their lives.
