A giant penguin, elephant, kangaroo, and giraffe are just a few of the unique play structures in this park. It is a place where your kid\u2019s imaginations will run wild. In addition to the giant animal structures, there are swings, climbing structures, small play equipment, slides, and many ride-on toys. This park does not have much shade or green space around the play areas, but it does have a large covered shelter with multiple tables. \u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elephant Play Area \u2013 has activities for a variety of ages<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Climbing structure<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>One side is very tall \u2013 better for the older kids<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>1 large slide<\/li>\n<li>Challenging climbing areas<\/li>\n<li>Long ramp<\/li>\n<li>Rubber mat underneath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>One side is shorter \u2013 for the younger kids<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>1 smaller slide<\/li>\n<li>Ramp<\/li>\n<li>Rubber mat underneath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li>6 regular swings<\/li>\n<li>2 toddler swings<\/li>\n<li>Merry-go-round<\/li>\n<li>Small elephant to climb on<\/li>\n<li>School Bus and Fire Truck for pretend play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kangaroo Play Area \u2013 mostly for older kids<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Climbing structure<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>The kangaroo is the main climbing structure at the side of the park.
