“Super nice local playground, freshly renovated, with new and interesting equipment, and a fully fenced play space. I was genuinely surprised by this playground, it has so much to offer, even has its own toilet and also a miniature half basketball court. It is in a fairly quite area but it gets super packed. Great if your kids love to social.”
