Bring extra shoes for sand play
Most play areas use sand instead of wood chips, which gets into clothing and footwear easily.
Check grass condition before visits
Grass frequently has thorns, may be overgrown, or occasionally littered with landscaping debris from maintenance.
Excellent for separate age groups
Two distinct playground structures allow toddlers and school-age children to play in age-appropriate areas.
Plan bathroom stops beforehand
The park has no restrooms, so use facilities before arriving or plan accordingly for longer visits.
Go early on hot days
