"PLEASE shut off the water feature! It’s 60’ and the water feature is still on. Labor Day (end of season) was weeks ago. It makes this park totally inaccessible for us since kids turn on the water and get soaked in this cold weather. Please GPD turn off the water!!!!"
"Very nice park for small kids. Park area has small safe slides. Splash area is great for hit days. Sand area is huge and it’s very nice for kids sensory activities. This park has a lot of shade and nice areas to sit with strollers. Very nice shade alley in a circle under the trees. Fence is around for kids safety. Clean and nice."
"Really unique park! The castle design is great for imaginative play. Sprawling gardens and paths make for a beautiful landscape. There is a large sand pit and splash pad. The whole place is fenced in which is nice, however it is huge so it's hard to keep track of your kids. Especially when there are so many hills and trees and bushes I couldn't find my kids at all ha. Free parking in lot. No swings. Padded or grassy ground. Not necessarily recommended for older kids as the playgrounds is better for 1-6ish year olds - I say this because it's small and doesn't have a lot of challenging aspects. Definitely will be back!"
"Lost a star bc the porch swings are replaced with stationary benches. Park is starting to show it's age by the visible wear on equipment, but that adds character and shows how much it is used! Love the story walk and layout ♥️"
"This is one of my absolute favorite parks in the area! My toddler loves the sand box and the splash pad. It's all fenced in too, so you don't have to worry about your kids running too far away. We love coming here!"
