We were recommended this park from another family staying at our hotel. Easy walk from seaside inn. We had a great time at the park! We took a small walk and found turtles and lots of birds. However, when we returned to the park, there was a homeless man cleaning his belongings at the pavilion and took the single restroom for nearly an hour which was an inconvenience because my 4 year old needed to use the restroom. Other than that the park was very clean and there seemed to be ample parking. We can't wait to visit again!

Best playground we have been to! We were on vacation and needed a place for the kiddos to run around. They would have stayed there all day if we let them! So much for going to all the exciting "tourist attractions" we planned. They had so much fun here. It was all they talked about. Free playground and so many fun activities for them. Make sure to put a lot of sunscreen on them!

Great little park with lots of different toys. They have diggers which you don't see a lot of in Florida and my son loves them. Very clean and shady which makes it comfortable for parents as well.

My son, a 6 y.o., loved out here. Plenty of activities, other children his age, and he didn't want to leave. Musical areas, sand and water play, swings, and other fun activities. Meant for children, not necessarily toddlers.

Love this park. It is completely enclosed so you can allow your toddler to run around and not worry. Lots of great sensory toys and things to climb on. It wears my son out every time so that's definitely a win LOL
