What people say
It's good on the swing and slide just do not like the rock climbing to go up to use the slide it is difficult for children under 5
A solid park that is walking distance from home. The only downside is someone poured iced coffee down the slide so now we can't enjoy it. We climb up and climb back down. Need someone to clean it up so the kids can enjoy the slide. Swings are good but beware you might get mulch in your shoes. The see saw thing is fun to stand and use, but beware little ones they might fall off. Around the park is a bunch for grass incase you want to run around too.
Horribly designed. The 'modern' design of the slide means any little ones that can't climb the rope contraption cannot use the slide. Very very thoughtless design focused on being 'different' than practical and fun for kids of all ages.
Cute little park to rest, so happy they renovated it. Looked so gloomy and sad before. Hope they can expand it a bit more since there is a lot of space there.
