Traveler reviews
Michael Knoth
★★★★★3 years agoI had a wonderful time with my kids at Parque Infantil “Platero” in Málaga. The playground is clean, spacious and has a variety of slides, swings and climbing frames for different ages. The equipment is in good condition and was checked by the staff when we were there. The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed playing with other children. The park also has a nice climate thanks to the trees that provide some shade and fresh air. I highly recommend this playground to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their kids.
