Bring two adults for multiple children

Plan for a long walk from parking
The playground is at least a 10-minute walk from the parking lot, which can be challenging for toddlers.
Check maintenance and safety conditions first
Recent reports document rusty equipment, damaged stairs left unrepaired for months, and inconsistent maintenance across the playground.
Equipment wear reported
Some visitors report worn or dated equipment.

Visit before 9am or after 4pm
Metal slides become dangerously hot by mid-morning, even in February, making them unusable during peak sun hours.
