Designed with separate zones for ages 2-5 and 5-12, this large playground mixes a zipline, trampoline, climbable boulders, and sand play with inclusive touches like rubber surfacing, a chair swing, an accessible merry-go-round, and a roller-bar slide with a transfer bench. A seasonal fountain area plus water pumps and a stream sit between the playground and the pavilion.

When to go
