Ratings & insights

★★★★½ (4.8)12 reviews
The playground appears to be a delightful option for young children, with newly updated and well-maintained equipment. Visitors enjoy the scenic ambiance of the greenway, especially after it rains. However, feedback suggests that the playground can be quite sunny and lacks shade or seating options, which may be uncomfortable for parents and kids during hot afternoons. Additionally, the swings, while fun, could benefit from more comfortable designs to prevent blisters. Overall, it is a pleasant place to visit, but improvements in amenities would enhance the experience.
