Love this place! The whole playground is gated with only 1 entrance so u can let your kid run free…read moreand guard the entrance as needed. The castle itself is huge but quite cramped inside so it was alot of work following my 2.5 yo kid inside. The castle is targetted for 5yo and up. My toddler enjoyed the spiral slides. The rest of the playground is nice and clean as well. There's free parking available and the castle is a short walk from there. I went there on a Friday afternoon/evening in late august and it wasn't too crowded. I would come back again if I was in the area

2 stars solely for greenspace. My opinion is based on driving an hour to meet friends here for a…read moreplay date. If you live locally it may be worthwhile but the drive for me was such a waste of my time for what this was. Ready? It's a: Big Wooden Castle Yep, that's it, folks. A gigantic version of that swingset-clubhouse combo you bought at Costco only to rot in your backyard because spiders and rain made it so unpleasant for kids that they refuse to use it. It's that creepy clubhouse times 30! It's pretty much a regular playground with most kids swarming the swings and other play features with a few venturing into the old wood play structure. They go in once and don't go back in again. My son was cursed at by older boys who appeared beyond the age guidelines (and I was surprised to see them still interested in a playground). In the myopic darkness of the castle, my son banged his head when inside the dank structure there was suddenly an unmarked (unlit) drastic change in ceiling height. Needless to say this experience was a turn off. Most kids really preferred being out in daylight because the castle felt more like a dungeon. It was fun to see friends and we enjoyed the togetherness of the play date but unless I'm in the area and desperate for a kid distraction, I won't be back.

It's the American dream, folks. The West Goshen Community Park - this is why our forefathers…read moreditched the British shackles and bad food... so their children's children could one day pile in a minivan and run around to their heart's content enjoying spiral slides, sandpits, super swings, and the all the sublime of suburban swag... (wow, I really didn't try the alliteration until I was halfway through the sentence). Sorry, I'm rambling... yet again... So I still give this lovely park 5 stars despite lacking one of those cool splash pads like some of the surrounding parks. Each area of this particular park is so carefully attended to... the picnic tables, pavilions, play structures (oops, there I go again). And the bathrooms are so clean! A sure sign of high performance parks n' rec. It's never overcrowded which is great. And we parents with kids are all civil and nice... it's like we all watch Daniel Tiger together or something. Haven't been to any concerts or big events. Big downside for me is that the running trail is only 9/10 of a mile which leaves a dunce like me who failed the fractions test in grade school completely clueless as to how many whole miles I've run. Just kidding... I don't run. Is that the ice cream truck I hear? Gotta run.

Great park and playground with lots of options. Bathrooms too and kids sandpit. Township hosts…read moreoutdoor concerts in the summer and activities throughout the year.

This playground is absolutely amazing. Tons to do for kids to run around- and it's all wooden…read more There are giant tires, picnic tables and the ground is filled in with really fine pebbles so kids can't run as fast. Not sure if that was by design but it's a fact ;-) There are also bathrooms on site and the library is a hop away. We had an excellent time.

This playground was recommended by my son's chiro's office. Just as a place to go, nothing chiro…read morespecial about it. There is a lot of large equipment, but not a whole lot of variety or imagination in the different interactive functions. Reeves Park's playground (Phoenixville), Smith Memorial Playground (Fairmount Park), Freedom Playground (Haverford), and Aston Twp's new playground all have really imaginitive stuff, and just as large of an expanse (if not larger). I also have to give props to the Reeves Park and Freedom playgrounds for being fenced in (Smith is, but it's so big, the fence is not as containing as it could be). Kids Dream is not fenced, unfortunately, because it is a layer of safety I always appreciate, for young kids who run, and also just to keep out wandering dogs (the ones on a long leash whose caretakers aren't paying attention) or to dissuade sketchy people from hanging around (sorry but they're everywhere). There is a nearby walking trail, and it's also adjacent to township offices (shared parking lot). I do have to comment that there was a bit of litter generally around, which is never okay for a kids' playground. Also, this playground is pretty crowded. Parents seemed adequately considerate, but honestly, all the abovementioned playgrounds had a better vibe to me. Maybe because this place was built up by my recommendation and the reviews, but it wasn't as great as my expectations (and comparative experiences).

Originally, my husband and I were looking into a third party company that sold similar PVC playsets…read morebut it was VERY expensive so I decided to do some more research and discovered King Swings. King Swings was actually much cheaper than the third party company and honestly, I felt like the quality was the same and some details of the King Swings sets were better actually. For example, the King Swings picnic tabletop ends don't have exposed ends. Another was that the windows in the playhouse can open and close along with the interior of the playhouse looking finished. The King Swing sets that have the monkey bars attached to the play deck have 2 detachable ropes at the end of the monkey bars. The other company had slats instead which I thought was odd because then you couldn't reach the play deck once you got to the end of the monkey bars. King Swings also had a stairs option when the other company only had the ladder. This way with the stairs, older adults and small children can safely walk up. We specifically wanted PVC because although it was pricier, we wanted something that would last and didn't require upkeep such as wood needing to be treated or issues like the wood splintering. I was really hesitant at first in placing an order because I wasn't able to see the playsets in person due to King Swings being too far of a drive. However, I was able to speak to 2 other moms that either had one of the playsets or had gone to the location to see the playsets and they had nothing but positive feedback. King Swing's customer service was amazing. I am the type that is super detail oriented and I felt bad asking so many questions but both Nicki and Crystal were so patient with my questions and answered all of them quickly via website chat and email. Not once did I feel pressured to purchase or to upgrade parts (ie, the nicer slide). Each time I requested a design change, Nicki would send me an updated playhouse sketch almost right away. I also love how customizable the sets are so you are sure to find something to fit your budget and everything looks attractive. In terms of installation, from the time of arrival to time of departure from our house was about 1.5 hours. We were given a time estimate arrival of 7AM and Paul, Ben and Jack got to our house at 7:35AM. During the install, one of them told us one of the side panels of the playhouse had a scratch on it so he replaced the part right away. I don't even know if I would have noticed it to begin with since it was on the side and being outdoors and all! We got the 6x6 playhouse with the avalanche slide, staircase, monkey bar with 3 swings and a hammock swing (super comfortable by the way). My son was thrilled when he saw the playset and honestly, my husband and I were just as thrilled! These playsets are not cheap but they are worth every penny! I can honestly see our set lasting for YEARS and we just had ours installed yesterday. We're so happy we found your company. Thank you King Swings and thank you Paul, Ben and Jack for the phenomenal installation job! P.S. The only suggestion I would have is to maybe be able to send a sample cut of the PVC so potential customers can see how the material feels. Or maybe have a showroom/sample playset somewhere closer because that was what was holding me back at first. It's a large purchase and not something you can just mail back if not satisfied.

Unfortunately, our experience with this company has been extremely disappointing…read more .........

Hibernia County Park is home to a very special ChesCo tradition, the Annual Old Fiddlers' Picnic,…read morewhich has now been running 93 years straight! This 900-acre park is also home to Chambers Lake, a children's fishing pond, many acres of woods/trails, campsites, playgrounds, and the Hibernia Mansion (separate Yelp listing). Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Fiddlers' Picnic, and it was so much fun! The part of the park chosen for this event was perfect for it. My only qualm was a lack of signage directing people to this area. I missed 15 minutes of the picnic because I was driving around trying to find some hint of a sign. You'd have no idea there was an event going on anywhere else in the park, and visitors there were clueless about it. Wouldn't you want to advertise in and around your venue site? This was unusual for events I'm used to, and a total pain as a first-timer, of which I'm sure there were many. Any online promoting for the event did not explain where in the huge park to find it. Since this is a major annual event, I hope they do better in future years. Otherwise, go straight to the park office and ask! I include this to try to help future event-goers. The park itself is beautiful, and a large number of rangers and groundskeepers were on hand doing a great job. I'd visited Hibernia once before, and will again to check out the lake. More then!

The only thing I would say negatively; I don't believe the axe throwing station should be available to anyone under at least twelve and with better supervision. There were two young boys just chopping at the target and they could not throw the axes safely. A potential accident waiting to happen. Otherwise it was an amazing day for both of us.

I am not sure if Treehouse World is better during the summer with more staff, but I was less than…read morethrilled about our recent visit. One employee was manning the front office. Very nice, but was taking forever to check in. We waited almost 20 minutes to check in and I had pre-purchase tickets. Then we had to wait at the harness station. Another 15 minutes because only 1 employee. A second arrived, but that's when we were at the front of the line. The treehouses themselves are pretty cool. Sadly, more than one had trash left by people. So sad. Staff was nice, but they were short staffed. Multiple things weren't manned so we couldn't Partake in them. We walked to the farther zipline to find no one there to run it. The tomahawk throw didn't have staff. The bungee bounce had one worker so two pads weren't used. Forced us to wait 15-20 minutes for a turn. Then 1 minute later, the staff rotated and the new person ended my child's turn, not realizing they just got on the trampoline. The other issue was lack of parenting. A birthday party of boys was happening and the boys weren't being supervised. They were not following rules and the staff was too young to take control. When adults didn't follow the rules, I had to remove my child from the activity out of safety. The cost was then no longer worth it as time and again, we weren't able to do the activity. We left and won't return at full cost. It's a shame because it could be great.

Whoa, this playground is BOSS SAUCE! Perfect for everyone. Colloquially known as the Wooden Castle…read moreplayground, this place boasts swings, a sandbox, big tube slides, short open slides, picnic tables in shade, in sun, benches, bridges, ladders, mazes, platforms, tunnels, lookouts, a fun Totem head, monkey bars, fireman poles, ramps, flip puzzles, and a bunch of creative equipment I don't know the words for... its awesomeness overload!! In addition to the playground, there are clean restrooms (open now), water fountains, trash receptacles for both landfill and recycling, easy parking, wooded trails, spacious fields and the most inviting Little Free Library I've seen in any setting. It matches the playground! The crowd today is super chill, very friendly, and clearly not obsessed with pandemics. Children and parents are playing, picnicking, making new friends, laughing and socializing and having a wonderful day. It feels just like the before times. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?!? My kids never wanna leave. I feel the same.

Great playground. Lot to do. Good amount of coverage for windy days…read more Sounds great right? It is. Well worth the trip. The missing star isn't on account of the place but rather the people. It amazes me the sheer amount of people glued to their phones and then look around in panic when they can't find their children. Ffs, Watch your kids, it's a playground not a permanent babysitter. If you think I'm being obnoxious, just people watch when you come here. You'll be surprised at the accuracy of the above... -J
