Really nice playground, separate areas for big kids and little kids. Picnic tables, and it's all fenced in and very clean. The only reason I docked it 2 starts is because there's absolutely no shade, no trees, nothing. So it's nice to play, but absolutely terrible when the clouds part for more than a few minutes. Wouldn't recommend on an entirely sunny day, we came when it was partly cloudy and it was mostly enjoyable!
