Brian S.Brian Strauss: My kids love this place. It has everything in their opinion. Concrete and standard slides. Great climbing structures. Carousel. Huge meadow for frisbees and rocket launches.

Scott H.Scott H: Great spot. Vintage carousel, concrete slide, difficult parking.

Derek G.Derek Gurney: Good climbing tree next to the concrete slide. The long slides need cardboard; a produce box would probably be a good size and provide a handle.
