Some great climbing things for my toddler. Couldn’t use the slide as it is in direct sunlight and it was scorching! Probably wouldn’t go here again in super sunny/ hot days as there isn’t any shade. Have to park down the street a little as there is yellow lines on both sides directly outside the playground. Overall pretty good, some nice grassy areas surround it too.
