Mill Creek's latest park is large, and clean, and lives up to it's name. There's plenty of things to explore such as a cave, a tunnel, a pond, and lots of things to climb on. There's quite a bit of parking, a large field (not open yet), and a few picnic tables around the perimeter.
Please note that this park does not have bathrooms, so you must plan accordingly.
At the time of my visit, the park easily had 80-100 visitors. I found that most parents were attentive, but a few were not supervising their kids. I guess that will be the case anywhere, but it was a little disappointing watching one kid throwing rocks at all of the other kids and the mother not doing anything about it, even when asked to by another mom.
Regardless, Exploration Park is a lovely place to visit with your kids. I'm only docking a star due to the lack of kiddie or ADA swings. There's only one disk swing and two regular ones. There's also only two short metal slides. There's no carousel or spinny things. I feel like these are usually the main attractions at a playground, and would expect a park of this size to have more fun things along those lines. However, your kid will have plenty of ground to cover, and once the field opens, there'll be even more space to play. read more
