I want to love it, but bathrooms are running all experience. First of all bathrooms are available ONLY until 2:30pm. I am sorry, but what do you do after?! Well, if you lucky to be there before 2:30 and need a changing station- set up if terrible. 2 out of 3 stalls are working, but once you drop down changing station you block access for everyone to use bathroom. I had to squeeze stroller under the table to at least leave some space for other people. Same with sinks, you simply block them from using for other people, if changing table is down. You are NOT allowed to throw diper in the bathroom trash can, you have to take it to the OUTSIDE trash can. That's so weird. It is dirty, too (doors, all around handles stained).

Awesome place to come for a picnic. Lots to do here for multiple ages. Mini golf available. Restrooms, friendly staff and can even rent out for parties inside and/ or outside picnic areas. GrandKids had a blast here. Got there at opening time. Filled up just before lunch, but did not seemed over crowded. All fenced in, lots of items to test and play with if you are considering purchasing toy cars etc.

What a fantastic park! I'm from Taunton MA, but attended a family birthday party here and it was a phenomenal place. The kids had so much fun, everything was very clean and well kept. They have a party hall that can be rented and used for various functions. It was definitely worth the drive and my son had a blast at the playground. A very spacious area with all different slides and toys, along with other playground equipment to entertain kids of all ages. Very different from any other place we've gone. Keep up the great work 😁

Very disappointed with the lack of consideration and respect for me and my support dog. Woman running the place came up to me and told me I need to have proof to identify my support dog. I was there to let my children play and we will not be back.
