Free Indoor play area for littles and great place for new walkers! I know it seems like malls are fading but I’m a fan of indoor malls; call me nostalgic or call me playing it smart on rainy days and hot days! I especially love when they have a play area for little ones to enjoy when they can’t play outside due to heat or rain. Not going to lie I was even a mall walker when my baby was born in winter 😂

Partial shade is better than no shade 🙌🏼
I love when trees are around a playground that’s when you know you’ll get some type of breeze and shade. is another great find for toddlers! Lots of walking space and things to do throughout the playground.

What I love about this park is the TWO twirly slides (rare!) and the distance of the playground from one side to another with so much to do in between! Great for toddlers too due to minimal side openings 🙌🏼
Plus it has a good size parking lot!

You have to walk a bit to get to the playground which is nice so it’s not so close to the road. The picnic tables are on the side with the street which is nice for any parents sitting there they can face the playground and have a broad range of the kids. There is a huge grassy area behind it that is basically fenced in! 🙌🏼

For those wanting a park with SHADE and fenced in check out ! It’s not fully fenced in but it’s enough to feel comfortable taking your kids. I don’t recommend going after it rains though unless you don’t mind your kids potentially running/jumping in puddles 😂

Rainy days like this have me thinking of the next sunny park day. If you’re in the area, provides plenty of shade and relief from the heat. The parking isn’t the greatest but on a hot day sometimes it’s worth it. This park does have climbing structures for bigger kids and activities throughout the playground and smaller slides for the younger ones.
