“This is a great playground, there are a variety of different pieces of play equipment that can be used. Being right next to the river is always cool if you're a child as it allows you to go and explore. All in all, I would recommend to any one of any age at any time.”

“Super playground with an area for big and smaller toddler. We liked the detail of the tic tac toe having balls in it so that the smaller toddlers also can have fun just spinning it around! Clean toilet and ample parking on side of the road.”
