This two-acre play garden downtown is split into four themed zones, from Rock and Slide Valley to a Skyline Garden, and was designed for visitors of all ages and abilities. Turf hills with tunnels, a giant salamander statue, and a nearby fountain make it a destination playground rather than a quick stop.
