Our favorite park in the area! We love the picnic tables, bathrooms, and multitude of play structures. There’s swings, a zip line, two merry-go-rounds, a fancy teeter-totter, balance beam, fodder structure, and amazing big structure. My almost-2yo has a great time as long as there aren’t too many rambunctious big kids who sometimes knock her over.
I love this playground. There is a lot to do here for different ages. I took my 2 year old and my 6 year old here and they had a blast. It is all fenced in and has a bathroom on site. I also love the shaded areas with plenty of picnic tables.
Love this playground! There are at least 4 large shaded areas to sit and watch your kids play. The equipment is up-to-date, well-made, and clean. There is a tot lot and of course one for older kids (3 and up). There's a water fountain, xylophone, drums, chimes, and my favorite… two gates to stop kids from running out.
First time to this park! My 2-year-old daughter loved it! You walk through two gates, which is great! You can see clearly who is coming and going. It isn't super big. It's easy to see your child from wherever you stand in the park. When we went, it wasn't super packed, so that was cool! There is plenty for the kids to do. Swings, jungle gym, a very cool teeter-totter. We enjoyed that! It's close to my husband's job, which makes it a great park to visit when we go see daddy!

We came across this lake while exploring with my family. Good spot for family outing and BBQ clean bathroom, playground for kids, swimming at the lake to cool down after playing volleyball. Lot's of space to share with others.
Mediocre playground, but saw a lot of wildlife! Beach was covered in goose droppings that were pretty smelly, so we didn’t stay for a picnic lunch. Lake has warnings about swimmers itch 😕
Beautiful! Never been here before but it seems to be loved by a lot of people. Several at the playground, at least 3 family groups BBQing and a few on the lake kayaking. Great place to test the kayak with lots of good people around. Easy access, lots to enjoy and overall decently Clean.
Newly renovated with about a 2 acre lawn, a galleon playset and a 50' Zipline for kids. Swimming space, and fishing & kayaking in the lake. Great day destination...
They have been doing some wonderful improvements to the play equipment. The pirate ship is a hit! Additionally the zip line is a huge attraction to this playground as well.

Beautiful park with ponds, large trees and green lawn where you can sit, walk and play. It has a beautiful atmosphere in the morning (quiet with nice dog walkers) and in the afternoon and evening (a lot of happy families). There are nice playgrounds, barbecue and picnic areas, different sports grounds, a skateboard area, an old fashioned train and wildlife (a lot of different birds on the water). The restrooms are mostly clean.
Please always clean after yourself and your kids and dogs - that's essential for everybody.
Definitely recommend to take the kids. This playground is better than anything I ever had as a kid. The three-story playground is very unique. There are always a ton of kids there for my kids to play with. The park also has a train, tickets cost five dollars regardless of age. The train ride is fairly long and covers most of the park. Parking can be difficult at certain times. And the best part is that the park is free!
This place is amazing! It's one of my favorite parks. There's geese and ducks everywhere. The man-made lakes/ponds are well-maintained and stocked with fish and have plenty of fountains with good flowing water so it doesn't end up smelly like some other man-made lakes/ponds in Phoenix parks I've been to.
I like the grass and the sidewalks with their twists and turns winding throughout the park. Very peaceful and relaxing here. Basketball court and even drinking fountains for the dogs. Ramadas everywhere with great picnic tables that are clean. Fun splash pad that's not really used in the winter but a BIG playground right next to it that dog walkers aren't allowed into.
It recommends 5-12 years, but it is a great playground for all ages and abilities. It is wheelchair accessible and has a lot of places to accommodate for them, including a wheelchair swing. Also, has a lot of fun sensory type playthings as well.
Plenty of benches and shade for adults and kids to rest in. Loads of picnic areas nearby as well.
Great playground & park with a lot of open land. My 6 & 10 year old had a great time here. They have 3 large playground setups, a tank the kids can climb on & a caboose
This area within the larger Burns Park has two playgrounds: the One Heart Playground, and a second one near "pavilion #10" just a few yards through the trees. Along this same road within Burns Park are two additional playgrounds: the rocketship one by the army tank, and a yellow one by the train car. The One Heart playground has a variety of slides, ramps, and more accessible features.

Wonderful playground that offers a unique experience for kids. Must sign a waver before entering and most definitely monitor your children. The playground offers free donated wood to build with, tools - hammers and hand saws- nails, hinges, and water based paints. In order to acquire hand tools kids must use a magnet on a string to find lost nails or pick up trash. The playground has been constructed with donated lumber. The kids use their imaginations to build something. They can also add onto existing infrastructures and paint their projects. The playground inspects all new additions daily to assess any public safety issues. The playground is a close walk to ample parking and the view of the bay is stunning! Kids love this place!!
Something for everyone here. Kids use powerful magnets on a string to collect discarded nails, then turn them in for a tool (hammer/saw). It's equal parts a fun place to play and imagination wonderland. Kids can nail or saw anything they would like. The saws are pretty dull, so they are really hard for kids to use. The ziplone is for ages 6 and up. It's fun. Parents must accompany any kids under 18 and sign a liability waiver at the entrance. The entrance is free. There are public restrooms and a playground right next door. Great place to pack a lunch and spend the day.
There are two parks next to each other. One is a good park for 5 to 8 year olds. There is also a fun park for older kids that is like the Peter Pan and Lost Boys. Hands made with wood and arts and craft areas for kids to make things or contribute to the area. There are several tree house-type structures and a zip line for kids 6 and up. Great fun for FREE. Donations are accepted.
Super chill place. The playground is great for family and kids. Safe area and the police station is around the corner.
Down the hill there is a secret beach to use kayaks or paddle boards. Very scenic place for water sports like paddle boarding.
My kids' favorite place in Berkeley. They could spend good 3-4 hours easily here. They keep themselves very busy with building forts with boards and also hammering away. Great way to be creative with building materials. A little bit of supervising for safety (using nails and hammers), it's a great place for kids to experiment.
The zipline there is an icing on the cake!
All the staffs & volunteers I've met are so friendly and dedicated. I've noticed that they were always very patient with kids.
This is one of those places that I would recommend to visit and experience while visiting SF bay area with kids in age of 6 to 13. It's now much harder to find this sort of kids playground in US.
A great place for the kids to have a day of adventures! Go carts, Bumper cars, animal riding carts, Virtual Reality stations, Game Room and Restaurant!!! Fun Fun Fun!!!!
Very kid friendly. My kids enjoyed playing in play area and played there for a long time without getting bored. They also enjoyed the go carts and the virtual reality games I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something to do with the kids, especially if it's raining, cold or whatever.
We came 9/22 today for my daughter’s 4th birthday and we had a great time. There were so many fun activities for my girls of all ages. Jasmine the manager was a total dream. She made our experience so amazing. We definitely recommend this place for your kids birthday or just for a fun family experience.
When I bring my girls here, we have an awesome time. It’s always good energy. The staff is great. It’s never a long line for waiting to get you in to get you out if you’re looking for a fantastic place to bring your kids this is the place to come and literally be a kid or a big kid
I am really enjoying myself and my child .My daughter got to go go kart riding. She also enjoyed the VR area which she was able to ride the plane. I won a bunch of tickets off the first hit and now I am still here about to do the dead zombie rv Also, I’d like the fact that they have these cute little rides that you can ride around your kids with just so many different activities for them to do. Keep them running around and enjoy our self !

This was my first time visiting here and I will for sure be back! This playground is MASSIVE, even though for me it seemed packed for a playground there's much room there was no problems. There are different playgrounds for kids of different ages which is awesome. There are restrooms right there next to the 2 playgrounds. There are shaded sitting areas as well as multiple shelter table areas that you could picnic at or just hide from the sun. Though they are not currently turned on during our visit there is small area with water mist toys for the summer time. My daughter's favorite part were the multiple zip lines and a good amount of swings she never had to wait. It definitely seems to me to be a great place to look for birthday parties. My only downside is the water fountain is in direct sunlight and is scalding hot. I highly recommend bringing your own drinks.
Very nice park. Geared towards kids as there are several play sets there and other things to do.
I'm surprised to see 2 types of zip line type rides.
The splash pad appears to be 3 spray rings. If there were ground sprays, they were not working when I was there.
All in all a nice place for kids.
Nice playgrounds, clean, working restrooms. Places to sit in the shade for adults.
2 issues: the 2 slides with rock wall in the middle; no easy access for parents to get to bottom and it runs into the parking area. Unsafe from security point. With child trafficking, kidnapping so prevalent I'm shocked this design idea was approved. The kids slide down to bottom where someone could easily snatch them and drive directly out. Either fence it in or install steps on either side of slides...both.
if you have different ages children and one wants to play on the little playground and the other on the big kid playground, it's impossible to watch both at once.
Very nice park that has been around for quite a while. The playground has been heavily renovated and is very nice for family events or outings. The disc golf course and baseball fields are well kept. Any time I can find on the weekends, I definitely try to come play this course. It will challenge you with all the trees in the fairway.
Such a cool park/playground/spray pad/ball park. There's something for everyone. Lots of climbing apparatus. Bathrooms are decent and open until 8pm or dusk when the park closes. Really reat facility all around.
Designed for children aged 2-12, with separate play areas catering to younger and older kids.

This is a great park. The playground is wonderful. There is a large variety of playground equipment and a nice splash pad for all ages. Being next to the Greenway trail system, there are some sketchy people in the area, especially at dusk so keep your little ones within eyesight and scan the area for discarded needles.
Very nice park with spaces for little ones and adults. Clean, well kept. Restrooms available. Big water loop that turns around while refreshing people during a hot day. Dog friendly. Lots of space for families. Very nice. 🐶 🌿🌳
Wanted to stop here on our trip to take my daughter. She had a blast once she saw it she just clapped. We had fun, you can see the mountains from here. But I will say beware there was a couple whom I believe was looking around for people to rob, or steal from etc looked like they had been there all day. Then when we were leaving we noticed there were some homeless people setting up camp. Just to make people aware. They may be harmless or they may not be. But if you watch your kids closely which you should be anyways you'll be fine. Just be aware of your surroundings.
Great family park in downtown Colorado Springs. Huge water feature/sculpture, attended by city employed lifeguards, where kids and adults can get there feet wet and cool down on a hot summer day. Nice grassy area to play frisbee or soccer or fly a kite. Great playground with a variety of activities and big toys for the kids to play on. Would definitely recommend America the Beautiful park to family, friends and visitors from out of town.
Very nice park for kids and sports! The park has ample fields for baseball, soccer, football. There is a skate park in the front.
The playground was very big and had lots of activities to do. The playground is fenced in fully.
Bathrooms are a little bit of a walk, but are actual bathrooms and not portopotties.
There is a community pool but is only for members and bathrooms are only for members too.
There was plenty of parking and places to sit at the park
My 4 year old lots of fun and was there for a few hours without getting bored
Diverse playground that is *actually* good for all ages. Some equipment I have never seen anywhere else. My toddler can be slow to warm up to new playgrounds, but she took to this place right away. There is a public restroom across the parking lot and two separate pavilions with tables.
2024 update: They added a giant spider web for bigger kids. Bathrooms are open only from April 1 - November 1.
Playground is amazing! Kiddie pool at pool is great for my toddlers but the lifeguards are super rude. I felt like I couldn't move without getting whistled for doing something wrong. My husband and I tried to take our 2 & 3 year old in the big pool and there are a LOT of rules .
This park is located across the street from the high school in the south end of town, right off route 10. It is ever evolving and 2024 is no exception. Parts of it are fenced off for construction. Or re-seeding and other projects. There are sports fields, a skate park, a playground and the swimming complex. You can find benches, a gazebo, and flush bathrooms (open for some events). For large events, many people park at the school and walk over. Nearby, you have a bus stop for ct transit and several services for youth.
Even with the pandemic and everything being shut down the park still open. YAY!!
There is a sign saying play at your own risk this park is not sanitized. I love that. Maybe one in ten kids right now where masks to play. But everyone is still nice and respectful.
They are still adding new things to play with.
Absolutely love this playground. It is very big with lots to play on. It does have flushing toilets but there are a little bit of a walk away through the parking lot.
I recently took a walk in this park, and it was an 🌟 incredible experience. The path was well-maintained, surrounded by 🌳 beautiful trees showcasing the 🍂 golden colors of autumn. The cool, crisp 🌬️ weather added to the charm, making it a perfect day for a peaceful stroll.
The atmosphere felt almost out of this 🌍 world, and I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Whether you’re looking for a place to 🚶♂️ walk or 🚴♂️ bike, this park is sure to surprise and delight you.
Cherry Rock Park is a nice park with adequate playground equipment for varying ages. It was clean when my family and I recently visited. I was able to take some breathtaking shots just before sunset of the view from the old RR bridge. It is a wonderful place to take your kiddies, as well as go bike riding or for taking a walk. Bridge is constructed to accommodate both walkers and bike riders.

This a nice park made around the Dam with multiple communion areas, two different play sets, and some short trails.
We've gone here twice now, and haven't made it to the opposite side of the river yet, but it does look like there are more trails over there.
Each time we saw multiple people fishing and even though there was a large party the one time, we were mostly able to avoid people.
The one play set is big enough that my teens still enjoyed playing on it.
We brought our dog and walked through their trails. We only saw two other people with dogs there, so while they're welcome, if your dog isn't as crazy about other dogs, it's a decent place to go. There is a drinking fountain with a dog fountain.
The first time we went we actually saw a massive buzzard running around the picnic area down by the dam.
There are bathrooms up near the main communal area and another down by the dam. I did not experience the former, but the latter is the fanciest portajohn I've ever experienced.
Our first time here was a blast. It's really a beautiful little area.
My son (4 years old) had enough to do on this big playground that he didn't even care to walk over to the other playground area (smaller and geared towards smaller children)
Picnic area, tables, restrooms and grounds all very clean.
It's a pretty area to walk around at and view the reservoir.
We will definitely be going back.
Awesome playgrounds, lots of covered picnic tables available, walking paths, fishing spots available. The dam is also fun to check out. Kids loved it, will be back.

Common Ground Playground at Edgewood Park is a fantastic spot for kids! It offers plenty of shade, picnic tables, a great play area for children, bathrooms and ample parking. A perfect place for family outings!
This playground is amazing! Probably the best I've ever been to. The fenced in area is huge with lots of different zones for different activities and age groups. There are plants and landscaping throughout, making it feel totally different than a wide open span of concrete and rubber, like most playgrounds. Whoever designed this place should win an award!
Such a good park. A lot of seating, and shade. Expect your child to move all about the park and you following behind. Many times there is an Ice cream truck nearby. Overall, it's worth it to go, with many play areas.
This playground was amazing! Stopped in while in the area with my almost 3 year old. So many things to keep him entertained, but he loved the sand the most. We spent a few hours here.

By far our favorite playground experience in all of Atlanta. It's clean, engaging and safe. Our kiddos love it and beg to go all the time. The slide is definitely a highlight.
It seems like they update repairs often and there's so many things for kids to do. There's no longer a tree house but it was replaced with a playground. I wish there was more parking but everything else is amazing. It is very unique.
Wow! So beautiful and so much fun!!! I think they’re still adding to it, it seems as though there’s some construction going on slightly. However, the park is beautiful and full of fun activities for this kids. They have musical instruments, a slide that’s not your typical slide, they also have regular slides available, and some odd avocado looking swings 😂. I loved every second. My niece and nephew also had the time of their lives too.
What a great playground for toddlers on up, the neighborhood is amazing and quiet. This playground is just part of a very large recreational area and extremely impressive. People are kind and so many kids get to play together l. I’d recommend watching the levels of how busy it is, at peak times it can be very hard to find close parking.
Nice park but sad that we came for tree house and it was burned down. Hope they can restore it soon. Beautiful area, clean, green and hilly. Best for kids ages 1-7years.

This is a very big beautiful park with many extras. This is a picture of water shoots up during the summer to the delight of the children wanting to cool down. The play ground has enough things to handle a lot of kids at one time. They have a baseball field to say Batters up. And all the trees are so very beautiful.
Great park. Parking was easy to find. This park has a dog park, even a place for shy dogs. It has a playground, walking trails, a pond and more. There is another park right across the street so you could easily go to both in a day.
Waking up early for the Spirit of Boise hot air balloon festival is worth it. The aeronauts we met wanted us to be close to see all the action. Huge park, lots of room for every type of sport. Not sure about bathrooms since the event had port-a-potties. Plenty of parking if you’re early.

Beautiful location all year round. But I must say fall is a must see. Playground for kids, places for picnics and sports. Close to the Boise greenbelt as it runs right through the park. Riverviews, bridges to walk between parks on each side of the river. A pond with ducks and a dog park. This is one of my favorite parks in Boise, Idaho.

My kids love this park, so we've been there many times and will keep going.
My kiddos loved this playground! Very clean and well maintained. Loved the variety of things they had to offer for the kids to play on. The spinning jungle gym was their favorite! And my oldest loved the zipline chair! This is our new go to park! Plenty of parking too! And loved the water fountains they had! Very useful to keep the kids hydrated while playing!
This park has something for people of all ages. The playground has a great variety of slides, musical instruments, a mini zip line , and toddler play area as well. This park is clean and well maintained. Highly would recommend this park !

Bathrooms that are open and working. Free parking. Tables to lunch at. Separate toddler and 5+ play areas. Recycling bins. Exercise bikes for caretakers to use while kids are playing. Sun shades. Very well thought out playground.
They have completely redone the park and playground. It's still small but much nice than the old one. It has musical instruments, elliptical machine, stationary bikes, and some other fun things. There are restrooms on site.
Great park - gets busy during peak hours but the equipment is good quality and the padded surface is extremely soft (great for the adventurous toddler learning to control their sea legs)
Only note: make sure you tell your kid to watch their heads inside the tower. The clearance is low even for little kids and they doink their heads off it constantly. It is padded with rubber, but that won't stop little McKynsleigh or Bryxton from getting red-rovered on their way to the twirly slide.
Another amazing park in Carmel! We loved the squishy ground, things to climb and all the musical stations. The nature path around the park is great for a shaded walk on a hot day. Highly recommend!
Great place to play and explore. Really nice. Lots of space. Soft cushion padded ground cover. Lots of rides to energize the kids and create curiosity.
This park is the most amazing community park I've every been too. Wheelchair accessible, sensory walls, and so much more. I love that it's partially gated so that kids can't wander into the woods in the back. There's lots of picnic tables and benches throughout as well so you can move around with your kids.

A great park for energetic kids! Parents who prefer to relax rather than play will find plenty of seating and shade too. Kids really enjoy themselves and have a quality time here. Must visits!
We adore this park, there is so much for kids to do. Each play structure suits a different age group, the splash pad is awesome and for the most part washrooms are clean. We love the pedestrian bridge as well, great views. Whenever people come to visit us we bring them here and spend at least two hours. Also, parents get to sit on the steps in the shade and watch the kids 👍
This is a very wide open place. Lots of picnic tables a splash pad. Bench swings for the adults to use. Plenty of room for you to have your own little space if you want to do like a gathering. The kids can run around everywhere plenty for them to do. Has bathrooms and little food trucks around. A Nice place to spend the entire day right there on the waterfront. And there's also the big four bridge right next to it. So you can take a little trip over to Indiana and to do stuff also
Excellent spot for a park. They have a few different playgrounds, a splash pad, and easy access to the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge. The ground treatment is pretty modern, the rubberized stuff that's easy on the knees. There's a good variety of equipment to keep kids of all ages interested.
Multiple playgrounds and splash park in one area. All ages of play. Food vendors and restrooms. Excellent river view. This place has it all. Best part is its totally free to play.
Designed for children of all ages with dedicated areas for toddlers (2-5 years) and older children (5-12 years), offering age-appropriate challenges and activities.

Haven't been in years. The playground is clean & lit up in the evening. There's pretty nice playsets that have three different kinds of swings for all children to use. The lights came on as soon as the sun started to set. It was a perfect Saturday evening for the kids. It's a lot nicer than I remember it from years ago.
Is this a public park? Tried to play Tennis there today and got kicked out… they said it was closed, which is weird considering it was Thursday afternoon, 6pm to be exact.
I play softball here every Sunday at 10 am. If you want to play show up and bring a glove and your in. Doesn't matter how many everyone plays. Best time ever
Its overall a great and open space to play different sports. Its not the best, but its pretty good. Love coming here every Sunday afternoon to practice soccer. ⚽️⚽️
Great, large, clean playground. My three year old son loves it here. I expect we'll be going often. Lots of things to climb on, swing on, slide down, and explore. Really a great place to bring your kids.
Castle Town is a nice playground for kids. It's got a nice set of swings, some slides and plenty of things for kids to jump around and climb on.
One of it's biggest draws for me is that it's so close to Fielder's Choice.
My friends and I like to go and play ultimate frisbee in the field right next to castle town. The field also has two baseball diamonds and there are a couple tennis courts on tma hill in the back.
I love the place.
I like this playground for my kids. It has shade and enough for them to do to keep them busy for a little while. Plus, it's eight across the street from a great ice cream place!
Lovely park. The surroundings were beautiful and relaxing. There were a few cars going really fast in the parking lot, as they left. But overall, it was just people walking and enjoying nature. It's also a good place for a little one (teen/young adult) to practice their driving skills.
The Good:
The park is a good size with fun play areas that my son just loves. The park is usually always clean and in good order. It is located in a very nice area. The structures are nice and look fun. Like there is a play stature of a bank, police station, fire engine--just things to fuel your child's imagination. There are plenty of swings. There are even xylophones located here that actually sound nice. Also, there is even adult cardio equipment for parents who want to lose a few calories while their children play.
The Bad:
Bees. There are always several bees around this park.
The Judgment:
4 Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend this park! Your children will have a blast here!
My kiddos favorite park. The older kids climb on top of slides and siding like they competing for WWF ladder or cage match additions but the park is still the coolest.
We love this place! The other side has a toddler area. Lots of seating for parents and tables to enjoy a lunch if pravillion isn't in use. Pravillion area can be rented for parties. They have a bathroom by entrance.
My kids love the ziplines!!

Good playground, seems very new. Fenced in with gates. Play structures for big and little. The zip line is very popular. Playground has a little more height than others, which is nice.
Splash pad is cute, a couple of above-head things and some jets from under. Also, well gated.
There are benches all aroma be, covered and uncovered. Some shade from the trees. Bathroom is a portapotty.
Parking is tricky, there is no lot. It's along the roads surrounding the area. Sometimes both sides of the street, which makes it a little narrow.
Overall, fun times.
This was the best children's playground I have ever been to. I took my 14-month-old toddler and found a playground that was nicely subdivided into a toddler area, a young child area and then a grade school age area. The playground equipment was safe and very creative. And I really appreciated the cushioned ground for safety. We spent about an hour there. Just having a good time going from one toddler activity to another.
Fun, large, clean park! Two playgrounds for toddlers and older kids. Plenty of room for many children to play. Large splash pad with fountains and overhead buckets. Shaded areas with picnic tables. No parking lot but plenty of street parking, we've never had to walk more than 3 mins. We drive here from Natick and it's totally worth it!
This this is a well shaded park with lots of fun things to do for kids of all ages. Everything is spread out really nicely to make room for lots of kids to play. There's picnic areas and all kinds of stuff. My kids love it here and we will be back!
Really good children's park, maybe the biggest in richfield. Very nice, good parking lot, close to the library. Really big play area and well spread out.
My kids love this park. I would consider this to be a destination playground. It has tall slides, zip lines, and seating/shade throughout. It is also fenced in. If you have young kids this is a must visit free entertainment option.
A park for parents with standards. Beautiful huge clean and rules required state ages 5-12 recommended and Adult supervision REQUIRED! ....thank goodness. Huge park grounds big trees clean and lots of neigghborhood events for kids. Porter potties and park building also a Skate park was pretty awesome find.
Great structures and well shaded, but lots of trash around and several piles of vomit. Could use a group to take an hour or two and pick up all the trash and wish there was another trash receptacle inside. We picked up a couple handfuls, but we’re chasing two toddlers who wouldn’t allow for more clean up. Please pick up a few handfuls if you can!

Had a small family gathering at Brookhaven City Park 4/18/21. I must say that the park was clean and the play area kept the small ones occupied.( A few of the kid at heart too.) Plenty of clear grass for whatever you're planning to do (frisbee, kickball, horseshoes, etc...) There's also tennis and basketball courts and a few covered areas with picnic tables. The one downside, the large pavilion area needed some TLC. Besides that, on this beautiful Sunday afternoon the park was the perfect place to be.
Loved the place its a really big park with fence all around the playground so the kids are pretty safe when playing i also love the sidewalk meanwhile my kid plays i can go for a walk
Amazing and fun place to for kids to play!! They have a walking track and a spray park (during summer season). Included also is a basketball court and picnic tables.
This was a very clean and safe park. Between the security cameras and the many available empty trash cans you can tell this city takes care of it's kids and community. My 2 year old enjoyed the swings, slides and splash pad. There was a birthday going on under The Pavilion with a few people but there were still plenty of places to park and lots of room for way more children to play. Would definitely recommend to anyone with kids needing a safe place to play.
The Steinberg playground is hands-down my family’s favorite part of Cosmo Park. It has all the standard features of a top-notch playground: twirly-swirly slides, little-tots slides, a huge metal hold-on-to-your-hats slide, swings, picnic areas, and convenient over-look points so you can easily keep an eye on the kids.
However, what makes Steinberg so great is all the adventure opportunities! You can scramble along three different hill sides permeated with 67 massive tractor tires. You can conquer a space-themed obstacle course or scale a 2.5 story rocket ship jungle gym. You can crawl through tunnels, climb on a fossilized triceratops skull, excavate dinosaur bones, have a birthday party in one of its many shelters, and so much more.
This park is packed with awesome from one side to the other!
This is probably the biggest children's play area among all the Columbia parks. It has multiple play areas and slides that can accommodate children of different age groups. Lots of parking space and the area is reasonably clean.
We have lived in Columbia a little over a year now, but visited this park for the first time today. I think it may be our new favorite park. Very nice. There's lots to do. My kids range in age from 13 down to 3, and all could enjoy this park.
We are always looking for a playground/park that all 3 kids can stay busy (ages 3, 6 & 9) and this park does just that! Lots to climb, lots of slides, lots to do. Best park in CoMo IMO!
Best playground in all of Missourahhhhh. We stop here on just about every road trip. So many fun areas with different sized playthings and various themes like a rocket ship and dinosaur bones. Love the big slide! Its kinda sketch and I'd never send my kid down it, again, but for an adult it's a blast. Not sure why they're building yet another playground right next to it, or why theres a cute little semi-abandoned playground across the street. The more the merrier?

I watched the 4th of July fireworks at this park, and the whole event was just incredible. They were so beautiful and coordinated perfectly. The park is very nice, clean, there were a ton of people. Had a great time! Zoom in on the photos. Maybe it's just me, but they're gorgeous!
Castlerock is a nice, large park. Large open area.
But it really does not have much diversity. It has a splash pool area, 4 tennis courts, and not much more.
Pickleball enthusiasts often use the tennis courts, even though Parks does nothing to support Pickleball.
One of the largest and nicest parks in Billings for doing virtually any outdoor activity. There is plenty of wide open space, suitable for things like football, soccer or even Ultimate Frisbee or just for tossing one around. There is also a baseball diamond and apparently tennis courts,. One of the best features is the FREE water feature. Located on the north side of the park off Wicks Ln. Another nice thing about this park is the free roaming deer and antelope that can often be seen there. This is also where the big 4th of July celebration is held each year, though I hear that's going to change next year, but could not confirm that. At any rate, this is a great park to take the kids to on a hot day and let them play in the water park,. There is also a decent restroom-changing room there as well as a paved parking lot. If you live in the Heights, or don't mind the drive, Castle Rock Park is a great local spot for outdoor activities in a nice, tranquil setting.
My kid LOVES this place! Shaded area is great for me too sit back and a break out of the sun! Lots of trees for shade so there is always some available

This is another amazing playground in omaha and only 2nd to Discovery Playground in our experience. We went when it was 20 degrees out and my 9 year old and her 6 year old friend had a blast running around. Has public restrooms near site and a band shelter for the summer. Has one entrance for security and freedom of children while having plenty of seating around the entrance and swings for adult audiences who want a Free Range Child while being present.
I agree with most of the posters - this place is INCREDIBLE and CLEAN. We were there on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and another group was there for a field trip; still plenty of room to move around. Easily accommodates a LOT of children.
Only complaint. No "regular or handicapped swings". Brand new expensive playground.... with LARGE family/couple swings and a couple baby swings.... but not a normal swing to be found.
Brought our kids here to get some energy out, it's a beautiful area at night, everything is lit up and easy to see. When we went they were playing the black panther on a large blow up screen. We will definitely be returning
Such an amazing place to visit with children (and adults) who like to climb. Very clean and well kept park. We were there later in the evening and the street gets a little loud (show offs with their motorcycles, etc). So much fun.
Designed for children 2-12 years old, with separate areas for toddlers (2-5) and older children (5-12).

Very nice park! This park doesn’t have as much as others I’ve seen, but it’s a great place to see some wildlife. The waterfalls are beautiful. The Dino park looks cool! Dogs are allowed and it looked clean. Some picnic areas need repair
It is very beautiful. Recommended for families with or without children. Lots of green areas, animals and birds to see (seasonal). Maintenance is terrible. If someone could help, I would report that there are too many workers in the area, but there are small details that would make the park better. There are some reviews that are already reporting this situation. Garbage everywhere, the lake covered in old trash, in short... many things that are very fixable by the city. Overall, very good for Vegas.
My boys love it here! Very cool park, but it's definitely gotten more busy over the past few years. All the parks around town need cleaned! Dirty like all the other parks around town, so i you are looking to strengthen your immune system, then go lick some hand rails.
Where's the parks and recreation city workers?? They all need cleaned regularly and fairly often and this filthy park is no different! Oustide the gated park there is a beautiful pond to check out with wildlife like ducks, geese, fish and turtles that share the habitat. Usually there is litter floating in the water and scattered all around the main pond/play area.
They have a splash pad area and sand pit with dinosaur bones inside the gated park area.
So during spring to fall water season there is usually a homeless person or 2 showering off in the splash pad while kids play. Everyone's got to stay cool during those hot summer days sure, but filthy and fully dressed, mid day??
Multiple visits I have witnessed hobos digging through the trash bins inside and outside the gated play area. You just never know when a bum will roll out of their favorite bush or spring up out of a leaf pile around the pond.
It is a nice park even with its flaws, and I still frequent this park monthly. The trees are pretty in the fall (see shared pic) [I'm no photographer, but liked the view] even tho the picture doesn't show any of the main attractions at the park, this is my only picture of it.
We like to keep it exciting in North Las Vegas!
It's a very beautiful park with lots of geese and some ducks. The playground is big with slides for bigger kids and a small playground and baby swings to the side. Park services was cleaning when I arrived, but my biggest complaint would be that trash in the water, and the poop on the walkway. Great place to take pictures!!
This is a spot I've visited since I was a child. Some things have changed, but not much. I absolutely ADORE this park. There's lots of shade, ducks and it's a safe place for kids and dogs to run around and play.

For the family!! A community donated park which is maintained by the bridgewater municipality. Has good obstacles. Ample parking. Has a restroom. Has a picnic grove. No pets tho. See images and videos for further reference.
Excellent place. Kids loved it.
It's great if you go with kids of varying ages. There's something for everybody. Some "devices" are present in 2 version, for the little ones and a bigger / more difficult I've got older kids. (Climbing ropes, zip line etc.)
The park has lot of trees which is great for sunny days.
A very nice large playground, fenced in!
I like that it is next to a municipal building/police. Definitely gives me a sense of peace.
So many fun things to do.
A pretty big sandbox with some toys already here.
Lots to climb, slide, rock, swing, run, crawl.
Has a bathroom next to it
And a bunch of picnic tables too.
Guaranteed fun for all ages.
Wide area to play for kids. My kids enjoyed playing around. It has lot of play options like swing, boat structure, truck etc., also sand area with toys included. Most of the area is covered by trees, which looks nature and breeze even on sunny time. Food not allowed inside park. Restroom are ok (not properly maintained). Aware very few places wood sticks are out that may hurt the kids.
I live around the corner and nanny in the neighborhood. This is a great location and the playground is unique but better for 5yr +. Not good for toddlers and the adults watching them. It needs more ladders for little ones
Visited with my granddaughter. The playground definitely was a good positive challenge for her from your traditional NYC Parks Dept set ups. I like the seating along the perimeter which allows parents to keep an eye on their children. Glad the sprinklers by the sand pit were on that helped with both cooling the kids off and removing the bulk of the sand before getting into the car at end of day. There seemed to be difficulty getting the taller sprinklers on so older children were stuck using other sprinklers which always becomes a problem with time. Otherwise clean, restrooms open, no homeless inside park area and well maintained.
Great playground near The Met with clean bathrooms, seating for observers and fun play structures for a variety of ages.
Pro tip: there are two sides to the bathrooms. The bathrooms on the inside of the play area (not the ramp side) are usually empty.
It’s ancient because of the Egyptian theme with the pyramids, I liked that it has water splash pad and sand pit however the pyramids isn’t really good for younger kids and it’s not a park you can sit and watch your kids you literally have to keep going around with them to see where they are due to the tunnels and pyramids , where I kept having to help my niece climb and bring her down . I was frustrated the whole time . I like the area it’s nice location next to the Moma museum other than that wasn’t my favorite

This park is a fun one! It can get crowded fast, but we love the seating options and the shade here. There's a covered picnic table area, benches all around as well. The equipment has a lot of ramps the kids like to run up and down. There are 4 adaptive seat swings, seperate baby swings and a bunch of regular swings too. They have a tire swing and this spinning thing you stand on the kids love. There's a second equipment that's for the younger kiddos. There's a walk away around the playground which is fenced in most of the way. There's a grassy area and some under tree open space too.
Right outside the playground fence is a large hill that's grass is maintained, this looks like it would be amazing for sledding in the winter. It's also fun to roll down you get really dizzy im told by my kids.
Plan to bring a chair so you can move around to follow the shade.
I like this park a lot. Good for a wide range of ages. If the kids get restless they can go run in the field right over the fence. My 7 year old especially likes the obstacle course style of this playground. Usually very clean. Can get crowded on nice days. Portapotty and additional parking
just down the hill if needed.
My 16 month old and 3 year old love this park. It's always clean when we go and my kids have a good time.
There is a small parking lot at the front of the park - but that is usually full. I normally have to park over in the pool parking lot and walk up to the playground.
Love to bring my kids to this park. There is a lot of equipment for them to play on. I started going towards the end of the summer but from what I can see there is a splash pad and a swimming pool as well

A beautiful park with so much potential… as long as somebody is taking care of the grounds - especially the trash cans! I went there the day after Labor Day of 2024 and there were multiple overflowing trash cans consumed by angry bees, as well as trash littered throughout the playground and surrounding park areas. How disappointing!
Seems like it used to be a really nice playground. We came in mid-March and much of the play structure was boarded off and all the slides had boards over them to keep the kids off. One slide was dismantled with wire fence around it. It's early in the season, maybe they just haven't fixed it yet! It would be super fun if it was fixed!

Tried this place out this morning for my 2 little ones and they love it! The playground is big enough for my 8 year old and my 2 year old. They also have a comfy lounge area for the adults with live security footage to see what your kids are doing! My absolute favorite part is that they don't let your kids walk out of the door. We tried another place last weekend and they had ZERO security. (They also have free coffee) Will definitely be coming again.👍🏻
Here are the things you need to know!
1.) My kids love coming here because staff is great and the playground has plenty to keep them entertained
2.) The rules are reasonable (no matter what people say); they don’t allow outside food or drink (other than water and baby food) because it helps keep the business running. It is still a business
3.) The events held by the facility are well planned and thought out. They have activities for all ages
4.) This is by far the cleanest playground we’ve ever been too, that’s because they care about the business
5.) Lastly you need to have a 5 min conversation with the owner to understand she cares (a lot) not just about the business, but also her staff and the kids. She started this business for the kids and it shows…..
We have bought multiple memberships because of all these things. Hope this helps all of those families out there
If your kids have dietary restrictions of any kind (one of my kids is Autistic and literally only eats four things) Breakaway will NOT accommodate your child.
I asked if we could bring in food ONLY for my son and the rest of us would buy from Breakaway's snack selection, front desk said no. I asked if I could take JUST my son out to the car if he gets hungry then come back in, and was told there would be a reentry fee. The front desk person was polite but completely unhelpful.
I understand this review isn't applicable for everyone, but for our family it's a +30 minute drive to come here and a $26 entry fee, so between that and the gas it's a bit of a deal breaker. (They DO have healthy snacks options, he just won't eat their options/brands 😭)
This is a very clean well maintained indoor playground. Staff are good genuine people. This playground is 30 minutes from my home but it's worth the drive and we will definitely be returning.
The greatest place in town for people with children! They really care 💅 about the parents and the their children! Keep up the great work! I look forward to bringing my daycare students over for visits ☺️🙏...... I'm back again in 2024 and this place is great 😃👍 and they do Pizza 🍕 Hut pizza 🍕 runs and you can have parties 🎉 too! AMEN

Being a huge Mac Miller fan this was a must stop on our trip here, may have shed a tear or two but definitely went down that big slide! Was a nice park and great to see all the love people have for Mac.
Generally the park as a whole is amazing, and HUGE, the playground is cute and fun. If you are a Mac Miller fan... you HAVE to go... HAVE 👏🏽 TO 👏🏽
His presence there is palpable, its somber and happy all at the same time. Sit with it for as long as you can. ❤️
Visited from out of state. Rolled in on a rainy day with my kiddos and wife. Had to visit Mac's old stomping grounds while in Pittsburgh. Such a unique vibe here. It's a serene place. Lots of tributes to Mac everywhere. Blessed to have been able to visit.
Most dope. 🤘
Don't even know my schedule, levels reachin' several.
Rose petals deliver, make you feel special-
They thought the money should've changed it.
Slide's still blue why the world keep tryin' to paint it?
When the length around you changes try to keep your sameness.
Try to keep your brain maintainin' through the lameness.
Sometimes I just wanna go,
Back to Blue Slide Park, the only place I call home.
I hope it's never all gone, don't think it's ever all gone.
Sometimes I just wanna go,
Back to Blue Slide Park, the only place I call home.
I hope it's never gone, forever long...
When we were there the park was full of families with a lot of kids using the slide. There also was a boy selling ice tea at the entrance for charity, a little league baseball game, pick-up basketball and much more.
Our sons, 24 & 16, listen to Mac Miller and wanted to go to this park. We listened to his music during our visit to Pittsburgh and although not my style I can respect how this park influenced him. It was fun to watch my sons also use it, in a respectful manner.

Found this park when looking for a new place for my son. It has a playground and a basketball area. It is a very spacious playground. It's clean and well-maintained and all kinds of folks hang out there.
Nice park. Has lots of grass to run around, skate board area, basketball court, playground and summer time water park area. Son always makes a new friend there.
I've even attended a couple small summer music concerts.
Everything is always free and open to public
Friendly neighbors and a variety of activities to choose from; water park (sometimes in summer), playground, swings, chess, basketball, skateboarding, gardening
Favorite East Side park: summer splash pad and a nice playground with several basketball courts, reasonably large field and the bridge over Cypress. Very safe and clean.
The neighborhood can get pretty violent but it's not an everyday occurrence so it's not too bad. It is a nice park, during the summer the water park opens so it's fun for the kids.
We brought our 4 & 2 yr old grandchildren along with their parents, and I don't know who had more fun. Us or them! There are so many things to see and do for all ages and also for special needs children. Multiple sets of swings, slides & jungle gyms. A nice path under the trees with interactive stations about Narnia and fairy houses. There is a babbling brook down the middle of the tree covered walkway that is only a few inches deep, and the kids can play in it. A large tree house overlooks the whole park with viewing scope! By the way, the park was very clean too.
We took our grand babies here. The place is awesome, I think we had as much fun as they did. And it was free. It's not like state parks in South Carolina.
My daughter loves this park. I do to it's so peaceful, has a great selection of play sets, and the interactive story tour around the park is really fun.
I'd recommend them maybe considering upgrading the experience to maybe a new story or enhancing the props for the story that is out there now so that it can be more vibrant and engaging than what it is right now. Also, the story stop that has the clothes could use some TLC. As much as I love the park and the concept, I would never allow my baby to play in there just because of the amount of dust and allergens it's collecting being outside and exposed to the earth.
Other than the above recommendations, I would say I love this place.
Great playground! Clean, lots of room for lots of kids. A creek runs through it. Narnia themed. Different play areas for different age groups. Bathrooms available too. Parking might make for a short walk if it’s busy though. Right by the lake. Very well maintained!
Definitely one of the best playgrounds for kids. There’s a creek. A Narnia inspired trail.
A golf disc course. Boat and kayak rentals. All of this inside of the state park.
Suitable for children of all ages, with dedicated areas for toddlers (2-5 years) and older children (5-12 years)

My two year old had a great time at this park! We also enjoyed walking part of the trail nearby. There was a decent amount of shade. Definitely plan to go back.
I came here for the first time last month and was pleasantly surprised by how unique and fun this park is. The adults and kids loved it. The structures within the playground had different features to make it look like a wooden log or mushroom. I loved the mushroom table with acorn seats. The kids favorite was the rolling slide which I hadn't seen the likes of that type of slide since late 90s going to the Discovery Zone (RIP DZ). Adventure world has a bigger and smaller play area for options if you have smaller kiddos, two rows of swings, walking trail, amazing architectural features, and a solid but soft foundation to minimize injury in the event of a fall or trip up. The parking lot was completely full the Sunday afternoon we visited yet despite a full lot, the park did not once seem over crowded and has plenty of room for all those wild, energetic children. I had no problem going through the big playground and down slides as an adult. 10/10 would recommend and definitely plan to return. I love parks like this hidden gem and had a lot of fun with my family.
The kids loved Adventure World Playground. There is a multitude of playground equipment, swings (regular swings, tire swings, swings for young kids, a saucer swing and full support swings) and workout equipment. There are trails that we did not go down but will surely do so next time. Another plus is there is are public restrooms. We will for sure be coming back!
We love this park, it has everything! IT IS A GREAT PARK FOR TODDLERS ESPECIALLY!!! but it also has big boys games! Lots of swing areas and places to sit or picnic! It has several like tarp covered areas. It has a biking and hiking trails! Super safe and clean! We love it!
Clean, quiet, trails, hidden animals to find, basic bathrooms, water fountains, swings to accommodate special needs adults or older children. The grandbabies love coming here, we've been attending for 3 years now!

Normally I’d give this park a good review as the park itself is great. I go on walks with my family and pup here every day and it usually looks so nice but I’ve noticed since early Feb. that it has been going down hill cleanliness wise. There is graffiti and trash everywhere and it’s very disappointing and odd that the dog poop bins have been removed. I feel that this will be bad for the park, since people can’t throw their trash away why would they throw their dog poop away when they can just throw it on the ground like everything else. Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this park.
Creekside Park is beautiful! They spared no expense with making it safe for falls as the ground is cushioned everywhere. They also invested in high quality slides swings and playground equipment. This is the type of park that you always wish was near your home. It’s surrounded by gorgeous tall mature trees that gives shade in the morning and the afternoon. There are multiple awesome gazebos with picnic tables to have parties or get-togethers at. It’s also really colorful and just beautiful to look at. My 15-month-old twins loved it just as much as my five year old. It’s also near a beautiful creek/river (hence the name Creekside) so there’s just a lot to do!
It’s a great place to walk your dog also and just sit on a park bench and think about life. It’s the only park in a 30 mile radius that I always think of when I think of where I want to go hang out with my family.
Highly recommend trying it out!
Super little park with trails and quaint creek to sit by. Lots of small trails. Located in a very nice little neighborhood. Great for small children with slides and swings. Definitely recommend stopping if you’re in the area.
Creekside park has everything. Adventurous and unique playground in great condition, soft padding to walk on, a large merry go round, an interesting/interactive water feature with water pumps and troughs and tiny rivers to create. No splash pad, but the small water pump feature is great for water play! Nice bathrooms, drinking fountains and shaded tables. Several shaded, lovely trails to explore around the creek and playground. The best place to go here is the creek. Go down the large staircase to the bridge and there's the most delightful, shallow, magical and shaded creek to play in and explore. I'll come back here with the kids just to play in this creek.
Such a neat park. There are so many different things to do here. You can play in the creek, play on the playground, picnic, there's bike and walking trails, and water tables. The parking lot is kind of tiny but you can park all along the street. It's such a unique park! There's nice bathrooms, boweries with tables and lots of shaded grassy areas as well.
