Reviews
"Unreal...coolest playground ever! Castles, wizards and dragons, oh my! They even sell t-shirts the place rocks. Check it out, especially if you dig the medieval vibe."
"Great place to take the kids! The castle playground is so much fun and the dragon statues really make it unique. The kids are already begging to go back!"
"Such a nice park for kids and adults alike! Father built park in honor of his beloved son Jeremy! Castle is a maze of angles, stairs,and rope/plank bridge with lots of friendly medieval character statues!"
"What a great place! The castle was fun to wander in, even as an adult. The sculptures are all very interesting. Love that it is free! They also have shirts for sale! The office is across the street in a large 2+ story house"
"Grown ups will enjoy as much as children when you explore the hidden gem of a park dedicated to the memory of the owners son who tragically died in an accident. Boo loved Dungeons and Dragons and his father and friends transformed this magical park into a castle and grounds where dragons and wizards roam. Trap doors await with hidden passages to open up in a different room in the castle. Beautiful flower beds surrounding metal sculptures of winged creatures. We visit a couple times a year and find new things that we have never seen. Bring your kids and try keeping up with them as they wonder in amazement. What an incredible place."
