This park has tons of swings. There is also a smaller play set for toddlers and a larger play set for the older kids. You can rent the pavilion at the park easily and there are many stimulating tasks they can complete while playing.

Hands down best park! We like going before cheer practice! And it looks like we aren't the only ones. Very family oriented park. Keep it 10 and under, for kid ages. Saw a couple teenagers come through and allllll the mom's were mean mugging them until they left. (they were being a little violent and playing rap music loudly.) But I'm comparison to other parks and things we have experienced, this is definitely one to revisit.

Awesome playground for all ages! Lots of gross motor/climbing development for our two year old, and good swings for our younger ones. Only reason its not 5 stars is the bathrooms don't have toilet seats so getting our kid to go potty on cold steel was near impossible.
