Great for kids who need a lot of sensory input. The fact that they have a toilet right next to the playground makes it a huge plus. So does the fencing all the way around. I have 2 ADHD autistic kids and while they are very high functioning, they do sometimes forget to notice they need to go potty until they have to go right that moment. Although, I suggest you bring your own toilet paper. They are out often.

Our community has done an excellent job creating a nice and clean park for our younger kids to enjoy. Would love to see this more in some of Palmers larger neighboorhood areas.

Beautiful, very clean playground for children. There are plenty of rest areas for parents, benches. Playground itself is large, but the park itself is not. It is fenced all around for children's safety. I noticed mostly toddlers & younger children playing. Has a ramp all through the playground accessible for wheel chair ♿️ I assume.

Love this playground. I enjoy the covered picnic tables so that my son can play in the rain while I stay dry. I also like that it is fully enclosed so kids can't escape. The equipment is nice and new too.
