This playground had some tall, tree house inspired structures that the kids enjoyed. The different rock climbing structures were fun for the older kids. There is a 4-person teeter toter that I haven't seen anywhere in a while. The equipment seemed well maintained and clean. Nice benches are available in the park. There is a woodchip base, but soft rubber to some of the swings. An old lion head drinking fountain is in working order. Large parking lot.

Amazing park and splash pad!! Tons of cool things in the park which are unique and had me (Dad) climbing on them with the kids! The splash pad was fun too and the kids had a blast! It was busy on the saturday we went, but the cool thing is it that this park makes it feel like a family get together fun busy vs the awkward busy park kind of feeling. You have to go to experience it!

Great slash pad, fun park that's spread out so your kids will have plenty of things to climb, swing and jump on! Great picnic area with free grills to use just bring the charcoal.

I miss the old sky land that i remember from childhood , but all things come to an end and public places especially need maintenance and eventual replacement. The new playground isn't nearly as big, but it's got way less splinters too (old one was wooden) and it's a pretty big structure in its own right. Then there's a water park my 2 year old loves as well as nice picnic areas and some fields.
