Best for ages 2 and up
Five separate play structures accommodate toddlers through preteens, with the tallest slides exciting enough for kids around age.
Good for extended playtime
The multiple playgrounds, open fields, and walking trails keep kids engaged for an hour or more without repetition.
Plan bathroom stops beforehand
The park has no public restrooms, so arrive with this limitation in mind or visit nearby Wells Elementary if needed.
Arrive early on weekends
The park gets very crowded on weekends, so going early offers easier access to equipment and shaded seating areas.
Watch for fire ants and wildlife
Ant piles are present in the park, and coyotes have been spotted near the creek on the west side.
