I've brought my kids here many times. They have always had fun. A large variety of equipment. Other than the occasional litter 🚯, this playground is in good shape! If you have little ones, I recommend this playground.

Nice park, and the location is beautiful ! I enjoyed the fact the park was gated. I would definitely bring kids again.

The slide was too fast, the swings went too high. The sand was too Sandy I tripped and got a boo-boo. And I was absolutely bombarded by seagulls, that’s the last time I carry peanut butter in my pockets.

Very nice clean playground kids loved it. Though it can get busy there is still a decent amount of room... just best to go there during non-peak times.
