What parents say
"Massive wooden playground with swings, slides, lots of climbing spaces and a sand pit too. My toddler loved playing here. If your toddler(s) loves climbing, this is the perfect playground for your family. Located next to the county building, this playground area is also in a safe and quiet area minutes from the lake. As a parent, I love that the playground is fenced in and has only one entrance that I am aware of."

"Hard to have line of sight on your little ones because of all the wood panel walls on the play equipment. It’s a nightmare to keep track of toddlers when the park is busy. I suggest getting there early on Sunday mornings to take advantage of the great playground without the crowds."

"Such a wonderful playground for kids. One entrance which closes very securely. And a great seating area for adults to observe the entrance and just let kids play."
