This is an amazing playground. So much for the kids to do! The entire playground is fenced with only 2 exits, so you can let the kids explore. There's a toddler area with a butterfly to climb on, a small slide, and a tunnel. The larger playground area has a spinning rope merry-go-round which was probably the biggest hit of the playground. The playground has ramps to enter it, and several slides, including one that is metal. There's also a roller slide on the playground. There's a music area (although the instruments are situated a little too high for little kids to reach). The swing area has 2 sling swings, 2 baby swings, and 2 adaptive swings, plus a saucer swing.
Be sure to pack a swimsuit and towel because there's also a sprayground area with a shallow man-made creek, a waterfall, and sprays that shoot up randomly.
There are some shade elements attached to the playground structure, but I am disappointed with the pergola located next to the toddler playground. With a few more boards across the top, it would provide shade to parents watching their kids play.
Large covered pavilion and restrooms next to the playground
