Playground

Senior Playground

The senior playground features a multistion packed with adventure - choose to ascend the balance bridge or the rock-climbing wall to the top, then choose to descend down the funnel net or the spiral slide. If you don't want to go up and down you can choose to go sideways along the monkey bars or curved bouldering wall.

A gyro spinner can spin you around or really test your climbing skills on the space net.

Junior Playground

The toddler playground features a multistation with two slides and a swingset.
