So much to do!!!

There are various water spots to play in, heaps of climbing equipment and it's for all ages of children. The whole thing has a beachy-oceany vibe and it is just brilliant. My daughter had a ball climbing on the giant fish.

Playtime!

Took my daughter here in January.. she had such a great time. So many different play areas for kids to enjoy.. doesn't feel crowded. Only improvement I see is more bench seating would be nice.
