We took our 3 and 2 year-old while passing through on a road trip. They had a blast! Lots of parking, bathroom, swings, slides, climbing, etc.

My children and I absolutely love this park!! It's always clean, lots to do and there's always kids there! I've also seen some pretty successful birthday parties here as well. They also have actual bathrooms that are also very clean. Plus this park has all the different swings you can think of. And as the best part you see a lot of different birds since they're so close to harford Glenn. I hope you enjoy your experience!

My 2 year old likes this playground. 1/2 is suitable for bigger kids and the other half for little. We went in January and there was no sand in the sandbox- not sure if the township refills it when it's warmer- a bit of a hazard empty. Fairly clean. Just off rte 24.

Nice clean park with age appropriate equipment. Older children on one side and younger toddler-age children on the other. Beware, on hot sunny days the slides and large green merry-go-round are skillet sizzling hot.

Came here between 6pm and 7:30pm. There were trash thrown on the playground at different places, the different play spots are not in any shaded area, including the swings, making many of the play spots quite. This is particularly in the toddler area by the way. Would not recommend
