Bring your own bathroom plan
The park has no restrooms, so use facilities nearby or plan a shorter visit with young children.
Avoid the blue and red slides
The blue slide has a dangerously steep top with low side walls, and the red slide has similar safety issues.
Bring supplies for extended visits
The park lacks restrooms and has limited amenities, so pack water, snacks, and anything else your family might need.
