"AMAAAAZING playground for your kiddos! LOVE its nature theme and all the other activities you can do there other than just the playground! It has two different 3-story slides installed. The whole playground appears to be brand new to me! Looks super fun and nice! More creatively layed out than most typical park playgrounds are. Fun ways for kids to run around it sad climb all over everywhere. Has a fence tunnel to connect the two main structures. My son LOVED it here!"

"This is now the nicest park in Huntersville. The jungle gym is over 20 ft tall but very well sectioned for kids of all ages (and adults can fit to rescue their kids). The entire area is padded with rubber floor. Some would even say this place is boujee. I mean yeah but it’s beautiful. It also has natural obstacles that are really fun as well. 10/10 would recommend. Especially in the mornings it’s empty and well shaded which is great for kids who can get overwhelmed."

"This place is wonderful! I’m hoping all playgrounds go this way—natural equipment and moderate risk features that kids need. My son played on the astroturf hill for at least an hour just sliding down on cardboard pieces."

"The playground is very clean and well-built playground with soft rubber floor and high gate (that only adults can open), with huge slides, zip lines, and lots more. Along the walking trails are lots of activities for kids to participate in along the way to promote exercise and adventure. The Adirondack chairs are a comfortable place to rest after enjoying the amenities, and there is a nice open grass area for playing a Frisbee or balls or having picnics, and the swinging benches are nice and quiet for a serene break. I would definitely recommend this place."
