What I liked: There is so much to do in this playground. Even though some parts are designed for older children, Sebastian was able to use them easily with little help from me.
What I didn’t like: The equipment is for both younger and older children. It made me very nervous when big kids were running back and forth across the rope bridge (where the holes are big enough for toddlers to fall through) while Sebastian was on it!
