Wonderful playground. State of the art with futuristic structures unseen in any other playground. Clean and dedicated safety officer given its close distance to the majestic city hall in the backdrop.

It's a free public park for children. Adults entering the park must be accompanied by a child. Security is present to ensure the safety and security of the children and the park. Padded likegrass flooring makes its comfortable and extremely playful for the kids. No bathroom on site but there is one across the street at the library

Really fun to visit at night after concerts with other fans. That's the only time we've visited so far, but it's very clean and safe with staff who comes to close it for the night.
