5 /5 Joy Lin: We have been to this playground a few times and every time we had a lot of fun! The location of the playground is also wonderful, you get to go to Trader Joe’s or Winter Park Village afterwards and there are so many restaurants and stores nearby.
There are also plenty of parking spaces for the playground, we usually arrive around 10am and there are still many spots left. However, it does get busy in the afternoon especially when there’s birthday party on the weekends. To maximize the fun I would suggest to bring food and have a picnic there instead of just stopping by, on our last visit we did a picnic and was able to enjoy 4.5 hours there.
There are a few sets of tables with chairs around the playground as well as benches. There is also a bathroom with diaper changing table available! On the other side of the playground there is a big pavilion where you can make reservation for birthday parties and they post the date/time on the notice board. There are also a lot of trash and recycle cans around this playground making it really easy to dispose any garage that you may have from having a picnic there.
I also absolutely love the fact that this playground is completely fenced off, you still need to keep an eye on the kids since there are several gates but it is so much easier and safer here than other open playground especially with a lake nearby. The playground itself is made of wood, very sturdy and especially beautiful for pictures. The ground is covered in mulch with a concrete path in front of the parking lot fence gates that connects the pavilion and the bathroom.
This playground has slides, swings (both baby ones and big kids ones), towers and a lot of hideouts. It is great for younger kids playing with friends or making instant new friends (suggested age is 2-12). One of the most important thing is that this playground is almost completely shaded since it has a lot of big trees. This is definitely a huge blessing especially in Florida’s hot weather.
Overall we love this playground and would be making a lot of future visits soon.
