Customer Reviews

This playground is great! Lots of slides at different heights for all ages. The pirate ship is a hit. It has treasure maps on it and even a spot to walk the plank. There are no swings and a disgusting port a potty which is why I took one star off. There is parking at the front which is great.

Recommended ages of 5 to 12. I took my 2 yr old and she was pretty small for a lot of it. She still enjoyed the slides. No swings though. The ground is rubbery. The whole park is super fancy. Made for a bit older kiddos though.

Great for all ages. Would like to see a handicap potty vs the tiny one that is here. Very hard to access with a cane or those in a wheelchair. The ship even has a plank you can walk. Plus 3 hills you can roll down on

Fantastic park. Two separate play structures. The one looks like a pirate ship. There is a sea seperant to climb. A plank that bounces you can "jump" off. There are huge hills to climb and roll down. It also has the rubber matting instead of wood chips.

Great playground. It's pirate themed with soft rubber ground mat. There are a series of hills to play on as well.
