Check out the playground's unique features around 11 AM when it's less crowded. I found it way easier to let my kids explore without the long lines!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The on-site food options can be pricey and not that great. I packed a picnic and it made my day so much better!

I suggest looking for deals on parking before you go. I parked near the entrance, but if you walk a bit further, you can find free spots that save you a few bucks.

Make sure to bring snacks and water. There's not a ton of places to grab a bite nearby and you’ll save some cash instead of treating everyone at the overpriced kiosk.

I suggest getting there by 9 AM. The playground gets super crowded by noon, and it's so much easier for the kids to explore when there are fewer people around

Bring your own picnic! There are plenty of nice spots to sit and eat. Eating out can add up, and the atmosphere is lovely with a homemade meal.

The playground gets really busy on weekends. If you can swing it, try to visit on a weekday around 10 AM when it’s quieter and more relaxing.

Check the local weather before you go; it can get pretty hot in summer. Bring plenty of water and snacks to save money on pricey concessions. I learned that the hard way!

Look for nearby parking spaces, as the lot can fill up fast. I parked a couple of blocks away to save a few bucks; it was a quick walk but worth it

I think it's worth checking the weather before you go. We showed up on a cloudy day and the play equipment was a bit slippery, so just be prepared!

I recommend wearing comfy shoes; there's a lot of walking and climbing involved. Trust me, you don’t want to get caught in flip-flops!

I suggest bringing a picnic. There are great spots to sit and enjoy your food which can save you some cash instead of buying snacks at the playground.

My advice is to visit on a weekday if you can. It gets super crowded on weekends, and you’ll have more space to enjoy the fun without waiting in long lines.

I recommend bringing snacks and drinks but keep in mind that there's also a nice little cafe with affordable options. It saved me from carrying heavy bags on a sunny day

Jennifer November 14, 2024

My advice is to get there close to opening time, around 10 AM, to avoid crowds... We arrived at 11 and had trouble finding spots for the kids to play

Richard November 8, 2024

I think you should definitely check the event schedule when you're planning your visit. We lucked out with a fun, free storytime session that the kids loved!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes. There’s a lot of ground to cover, and my feet were killing me by the end. I could've used better sneakers!

Barbara March 6, 2025

Bring a picnic. There are plenty of shaded spots and amazing views. I saved a ton by snacking instead of buying overpriced food inside.

Robert January 17, 2025

If you're into jogging or biking, I suggest hitting the paths early in the morning around 7 AM. The fresh air is lovely and the park is quiet.

Andrew January 2, 2025

Okay, so I totally underestimated how hot it gets. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle; the Sun can be relentless, even in early fall!

If you can, pop by in the late afternoon around 4 PM. It's a magical time, the sun is setting, and it’s way cooler weather. Plus, there’s less hustle and bustle.

Lisa January 10, 2025

Bring snacks and water. There aren’t many food options right near the playground, and you’ll want a break to refuel. I learned that the hard way!

Check out the game areas; they have some really fun stuff! I almost missed the giant slide. It’s an absolute must—your kids will love it!

I suggest going in the early morning, around 8am. It’s so much quieter then, and the kids can have the whole place to themselves!

I think you should check out the seasonal events. They sometimes have fun activities for kids, and you might get lucky with a free treat or two!

Don’t miss the nearby library and community center—they often have free activities for kids. It can be a fun bonus after the playground!

Check the weather before heading out—if it’s windy bring a jacket! The open spaces can get chilly especially in the late afternoon.

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. It tends to be way less crowded, so you can fully enjoy the playground and let the kids run wild without worrying about waiting in line for the swings.
