Very bad experience for my daughter, supervisor don't watched the kids and carless about solving any problem between the kids, not safe and people there have no experience and manners to deal with parents. I don't recommend it.

Both my children go there one teenager one 8 year old they love it the staff are great and always on hand they like the children to help also always fresh food and fruits and drinks on hand all freshly cooked on premises no junk food always feel 100% comfortable leaving my 8 years old there, structures are fun and challenging for the children, a real old school adventure playground. The playground is full of laughter and children just having fun! A place were children can play freely without adults leading the play!

Great playground structures, nice staff, and free food. The reason I'm taking away a star is because at night, teenagers come out and take over the trampoline... they just lie on it and hang out. Some of the worse teenagers even smoke underage! Go during the brighter hours if you can.

I've been going to the park weekly since I was 4 I am now 14 and still love going to the park, the staff are always helpful and comforting if anything goes wrong. They are really trustworthy to people with their equipment and the general crowd there is always fun and cool. I would strongly recommend this park to any young people or adults with young children as it is always a fun place to be.
