If anyone is looking for free toddler entertainment, the Wellen Park playground is definitely worth a try. Pros- Splash pad, playground, food & drink, restrooms within walking distance, beautiful scenery, music and calming environment. Soft turf and some sand in the playground area. Cons- The playground does not offer much shade and unfortunately when it's full sun, the playground is just too hot to play on. The food & drink stands don't open till 11AM (so if you go before then make sure to bring snacks), The playground seems more suited for ages 5 and up, not for younger children. We will definitely be back during the night market!

My grandkids liked the rope climbing jungle gym. Other things more for smaller children. Nice artificial grass for kids.

Nice little playground on turf with 2 swings, tire swing, slide and rope playground. Close to bathrooms. No fence. I wish there was a bit more shade, but the Adirondack chairs were moveable as the sun shifted. Also, this is right next to a nice splash pad so I recommend bringing your Littles. My 6yr olds enjoyed the spaces.
