Such a fun climbing experience! There is enough going on to keep your kids busy for a long time! Kind of nice that most of it is in the shade of the climbing structure so the fact that I forgot sunscreen did not result in the damage it could have! The kids loved it

For disc golf I'd stick to the baskets East of Meade st unless you are confident in your accuracy. That being said tee 8/9 where it crosses the river is pretty fun if you have some throwaway discs. There's technically no access to tee 3/4 from Federal Blvd so take the pedestrian footbridge instead if coming from tee 2.

The COOLEST park ever! I love that it’s shaded for the kids to climb in! Not much to do for smaller babies and toddlers but if your kid is a climber this is the place for them! Also there’s a splash pad right next to the playground!

A park with a little bit of everything- playground, open fields for sports, picnic tables, basketball court, splash pad, and skateboarding. The play equipment is the star of this park. It's massive, with ample climbings areas, slides, and swings. It's best suited for kids ages 5+, as there isn't a separate smaller play structure for little kids, and it's very easy to lose sight of your kids in the large structure. We visited on a warm, Sunday afternoon and it was packed, though that didn't seem to bother my kiddos. There's enough equipment that even with a large crowd, it's still fun. There are multiple picnic tables near the playground as well as trees for shade. Many people bring camp chairs or blankets and find a spot on the grass. Knocked a star off for the cleanliness of the park. There was a decent bit of trash lying around (though I didn't see any signs of alcohol or drug use as other reviews have stated). And if you need to use a bathroom near the playground, there are only two port-o-potties.
