So many unique structure to play and be in the outdoors. Both my boys said this is their new favorite park. Their favorite features were the basketball hoops and the circular merrigo-round made for one person. There's so much more- a braille reading library. Safety fence with a safety lock to keep kids inside. Huge parking lot. There's also motivational quotes all around with so much color. The buddy beach is bright and there's also a rock sharing area. This park has thought of everything to make everyone have a sense of belonging. The only negative was the picnic tables that are covered are also used for parties. They may come out to ask you to move to accommodate a birthday party. Which was a major pain for us as we had a full on picnic spread out. The staff was very kind and allowed us to stay when they recognized we had a bunch to move.

It opens everyday from 8 am to sunset. There is a porta potty available. This was built in 1996 and was the first all inclusive playground for children of all abilities in the area. We went on a Saturday and it was super busy. You have to keep a hawk eye on your babies because they can get lost in the crowd. There is a pavilion with picnic tables. The play area is fenced in and has plenty of parking. In the end, I can't wait to come back on a weekday when it's less busy.

Right now on Saturdays there's a farmer's market that I'm hoping to get a chance to visit. When you first enter the playground there's a basketball area to the side with a variety of different hoops at varying heights. The area for younger kids is just past the entrance. There are baby swings and 2 smaller pieces of play equipment that are great for toddlers. One is a fire truck that is perfect for kids that are just learning how to navigate playgrounds--in my experience ,a rare find. The second one is for kids 2-5, though younger kids would be fine with supervision. Past these playscapes, there's a music garden, a sandbox area (that has always been surprisingly clean every time we visited), and a couple other individual pieces for climbing on. After that there's a big slide down to a lower section with the big kid climber and swings. This one is for kids probably 5-12. It has some really fun obstacles to attempt to climb and get through. I had a fun time trying it out, but it wasn't really an area my toddler could navigate, even with careful supervision. I think it is great that this is really geared towards the older kids as sometimes the 5-12 play areas aren't as challenging as they could be and may get boring after a while. I would image that there are enough things to do in this area that it would keep an older child engaged for a while. There are trees to sit under and get some shade, as well as covered picnic tables.

Playground and splash pad for the kids! More shade and more chairs for the adults would be awesome.read more

There are no boundaries for abilities, because this is designed so children of all abilities can play together, whether the kids are fully able or have physical, sensory or developmental disabilities. The playground was opened in October 2002 and you'll find it off of Iron Horse Boulevard inside the Simsbury Meadows Complex. No admission and tons of free parking onsite. They have two playscapes, designed for kids aged 5-12 and another for kids aged 2-5. There's a ton of fun here - baby swings, slides, a sandbox, a huge Boundless playground, two pint-sized climbing walls and lots more. The playground surface is very soft and rubbery, sort of like walking on a wrestling mat. They have gazebo to sit and relax, and porta-potties for when that need arises.

This is a very thoughtfully designed playground for every child, despite their physical abilities. There are ramps for wheelchairs, so wheelchair users can access the playscape. The ground is in part wood chips and in part padded. If anyone should fall the injuries would be at worst minimal. The playground features swings, slides, a sandbox, see-saws, and much more. My friend's three year old son had a great time playing here. I even took a swing on the swing myself. This playground is dedicated to a little boy named Mikey, who died at just under three years old, from a rare neuromuscular illness. Mikey's Place has brought countless kids together, allowing them to play, laugh and build friendships.

It's created to honor the memory of Mikey, a toddler with spinal muscular atrophy. There were two areas: toddlers from 2-5 years old, which was fenced in and an older kids section. There is a small parking lot, benches, and adult swings. When you first walk in, you will see a "Grandpa Boat" which is a swaying boat. My toddler loved the cars; you can push your child around the playground. I saw a free little library as well as trash receptacles. I saw a gazebo which is nice to sit in on a sunny day. This is definitely one of the nicer playgrounds I've been to.
