A great park if you have multiple children and need to keep them close 🙂 I can only take my 3 boys to parks that are fenced in- and this one is going to be a new favorite of theirs! All 3 (2yo twins and a 4.5yo) loved the park. The twins didn’t last long in the toddler area – and played safely in the “big boy” area. We’ll be there a lot more in the coming months! thanks!
