4 year olds will love it.
Mommies and Daddies and Grandmas and Grandpas will love it.
It is safe to say this small, gated, boo-boo proofed playground has limited appeal, because it really offers little entertainment for anyone over the age of 4. But for those of the toddler set, they will stay fascinated, stimulated, and safe while the older generation allows themselves a brief moment of respite.
A couple of extraordinarily short, not so slick slides will gently dump little wigglers onto soft cork flooring. There are a couple of spinning chairs that will make everyone laugh as the little ones walk like a drunk afterwards, a climbing wall that will challenge those little midget legs, a heavy duty pipe lays on its side to crawl through, some stairs will get those little legs to the upper play structure, and a rope ladder will build eye hand coordination and gross motor skills. I had no clue my 2 year old granddaughter was a master climber, but sho' nuff, she had conquered it long before I even had a chance to panic.
It is all perfectly fine for those who are struggling to balance the shopping with herding a "mini me", or two, or three around. Benches and solid sail cloth shade covers help to keep the intense So Cal sun from glaring down with its intense rays. It's comfortable enough that everyone comes home smiling.
Just outside the enclosure is a large decorative fountain. And in the hot summertime (not sure if it is active or if the drought shut it down) is a little cemented area for kids to get completely drenched, spurting water spouts up from the ground. Not exactly a water park, but who doesn't remember the good times running through the sprinkler in the summer?
Good for little ones for sure and less attractive for pushy, big kids who tend to dominate. read more
