This park amazed me! It is so lovely. My children ages 3 and 4 absolutely LOVED it. This was one of those parks I had to bribe them to leave. There is parking and restrooms. They also have beautiful walking trails and after playing on the park we took a nice walk just the 3 of us and our pup love. My children made it through the entire trail and loved it. I left my phone and was a little nervous but felt safe enough to walk through the trail with kids. Not being from the area makes me nervous to go on hikes without my husband but here we felt safe and the beautiful hand built bridges over little water ways and an easier trail to take for the kids and I. Will definitely go back!

A fun, accessible playground with a good variety of equipment. The playground includes swings which is always a big bonus for us. You can tell it’s a good playground by how busy it often is here. But even with many people around, you can usually still find some area of the playground with space for you and to do your own thing. The people here I have always found to be polite and pleasant. Great place to bring the kids.

Busy park.. Some of the guests are less than friendly and they lack some parental guidance skills. Thank goodness my children are adults.

A Stellar Family Adventure at Ashley Okland Star Playground When it comes to family fun, Ashley Okland Star Playground is the ‘universe-al’ choice! As a father, I’ve seen my share of playgrounds, but this one is truly ‘out of this world’. My partner, the kids’ mother, and I had a ‘galaxy’ of a time watching our little ‘stars’ shoot down the slides and swing to ‘Mars’ and back. The equipment is ‘meteor’ than ever, with safety that ‘orbits’ our expectations. It’s the perfect ‘space’ for kids to ‘explore’, and for parents to have a ‘blast’. The laughter here echoes like a ‘comet’ streaking across the sky – bright, brilliant, and beautiful. So, if you’re looking for a place where joy ‘gravitates’ and fun is always ‘sky-high’, Ashley Okland Star Playground is the ‘constellation’ prize for every family. It’s a ‘supernova’ of happiness where memories are made at the ‘speed of light’. Two thumbs ‘up, up, and away’!

Will be renting the shelter for a birthday party. One of my girls' favorite parks.
