A small playground in the open and wide area, Jack's Point. It's within walking distance if you stay in any property in Jack's Point. But it still has a parking area. Next to the playground is a football court. The children love it so much. Play in the playground and run around in the field.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Reviewers consistently highlight the flying fox as the standout feature β€” visited multiple times by the same families on return trips. The wide open setting with mountain views and the adjacent football field give the playground a sense of space that compact urban playgrounds lack.

β€œLovely little playground with a fair number of parking spots, big field to play in, and a "flying fox" (mini zipline) that the kids loved. We came by here several times with out 7 and 9 year olds.”
