Eureka!! This is a really nice playground. There are playgrounds for big kids & small kids separately. And there is a small sandbox!! The playground floor is made of safe and cushioned material (not sharp pieces of wood). The best thing is there are a lot of shades!! 😁 My kid loved this place :) Big thanks to people who made this playground. 😀👍 💯

What a nice playground!! I think this playground seems to have been created with children and the parents who are watching over them :) The safe playground floor and plenty of shade, so parents will feel less tired even in the summer. Swings, seesaws, sandboxes, monkey bars, etc. I highly recommend this playground :)

The playground looks good, but there is no restroom. There is a restroom 10 minutes away by foot. Which is not a big problem for an adult, but for children it is far away.

This was a great place for my 3 year old. They have two different playground - one for the little and the other one’s for the older kids. This was our daughters first outing during the pandemic and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was clean and felt safe. We will be back.
