In 2019 they removed the mini-golf and installed a trampoline park and mini bowling. 





Bounce Beach requires socks, so don't forget them! It is comprised of 2 rooms, the first has an indoor playground and a plain square bounce house. It also has a BEAM interactive projection game system on the floor. My daughter enjoyed popping the bubbles and kicking the soccer ball around.

 Physical Fitness area



 
There is a pavilion right next to the playground but I didn't see restrooms nearby. I think there is a concessions building straight ahead but don't know if they have restrooms and the hours that they are open, if so. 

                  


The playground was renovated in 2021 and it's a huge improvement. 



The smaller structure is for little kids under 2 and it has a slide and a speaker.


There are 4 sling swings here but no baby swings


Modified merry-go-round


The larger structure has several slides, a bridge, lots of climbers, chain climbers, stepping stones, and lots of bars and poles.
