A wonderful playground that’s been our regular stop for years. A quick hop over from the zoo or if you are at the reservoir. Parking is plentiful across the street. Restrooms are at the entrance of the park and plenty of seating and a bunch of Adirondack chairs if you can get back up 😜 The playground is well-lined with tall trees for lots of shade on those blazing sunny days. There are picnic tables at the pond before entering the playground if you have packed a snack or lunch. It has a great view of the pond, the paddle swans, and the trains at the zoo. 👍😀

My daughter loves this park! Very spacious. Lots to do for the kids & lots of seating for adults to relax while the kids place. Next to the zoo so you can spend the day entertaining the little one.

This was the original playground for kids which we didn't see before such a rock climbing in drums for instruments for kids to play in bang around. There are also many swings and the view of the Lake and woods was a very nice touch. There were also many picnic areas with many picnic tables. Social distancing was also enforced as much as it could be and most people that go to the park where masks.

Great playground with lots of space! Even with a lot of people it didn’t feel overcrowded. Ample parking across the street and some nice walking paths around the park, as well as tables looking out at the lake when you need to change it up!
