Traveler reviews
Tyler Abe-Mysen
★★★★★7 years agoGreat playground, sand box area is a favorite. The only drawback is bathrooms are closed on the weekends
Lorena
★★★★★11 months agoIt's not safe to use gravel under the log structure where they jump and hang upside down etc. Beautiful design, lots of fun but I'm afraid a kid could fall and get it in their eyes or scratch their face badly.
