"A very unique and fun playground!!! The equipment is something I had never seen before. So many different ways to use the same thing. Kids really enjoyed it!"

"I'll start with saying it's a great place when it's not busy. And the soccer fields look great near the little pond towards the back. However, the zipline has big kids going so fast down it right next to where little kids are. Just wished there was something to separate it from the little kids area. My little one broke his arm going out to where some kids were going way too fast for him to get out of the way, and one accidentally hit him. (The day we went out was during the summer with LOTS of kids there so it was hard to manage my kid with the chaos.) Also some fencing between the parking lot and the playground would be nice. There were a lot of kids that day very close to the cars."

"Very busy, but so fun! The playground gives children of all ages (I have a 3 & 5 year old) something to do. We had a blast here! Very clean restrooms were a bonus as well."

"This was a blast! This park was a bit more unique since both of the main play equipment didn't have normal stairs. I personally thought this was an awesome concept and definitely allowed for more "BIG" play. The park looks brand new and there's still construction happening in other areas. The playground itself had a soft squishy rubber pad which was nice and there was plenty of bench seating all over the park. There was an additional shaded picnic table area but it was a short distance from the playground itself and not directly at the playground. The restrooms here were also well kept and also looked basically brand new as well. Definitely would add this to my go again list!"

"This new Molenaar park on Victory/Maple Grove is amazing! Zip line, merry go round, jungle gyms, tunnel slide, toddler spot, teeter totter & more! All the playsets are made so kids with all skill levels & needs can interact & play. There are restrooms not open yet, but they do have porta potties. Splash pad not ready, but most likely by summer. Large grassy area where a guy was flying his remote control airplane, dog park and plenty of parking. Looks like there may be a spot for a snack shack in the summer. My 3 yr old grandson had a blast! Playground rules state it was designed for ages 2-12. Great mix of ages while we were there."
