There are two areas, one is designed for the younger children, and the other area for older kids, but most children over 4-5 should be able to play in either area. There are two drawbacks to this playground. 1) there are sometime porta potties available, but the park restrooms are not too close, and locked for the most part. and 2) there is no fence around the area, so you need to pay attention to make sure your kids don't wander. Overall, a very nice park

I have a 7 year old daughter and 2 year old son - we visited today (Dad too) and had a spectacular time. Definitely recommend on a hot day for the splash pad. Only concern with the playground is it doesn't have a fence. The playground surface is accessible - almost feels springy under your feet.

Ballard Park is a beautiful and free nature preserve very close to Ocean Drive and Brenton Point…read more It's easy to pass by this pretty place, but it's worth stopping over if you enjoy light hiking as the whole place spans 13 acres. The trail is well maintained, with great views of their quarries which is unique to this park. What makes Ballard Park wonderful, aside from its beauty, is the amount of events they hold here. From free outdoor movies in the summer (donations accepted), to yoga classes for $10, concerts, and more -- all proceeds go back into preserving the park. I've been to many outdoor movies here: this year I've gone to see Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to a packed crowd. Outdoor movie nights have gotten so popular that it made Rhode Island Monthly's 2011 best of RI list! I have also gone to the Yoga Mala celebrating the summer solstice here, and it was wonderful practicing with over 50 other people in the beauty of this park. I would like to try to come for some yoga classes that are held weekly. Ballard Park is a real gem for the area, a park that I will support for years to come.

Everything is in great condition and extremely well maintained and the facilities are well used in the warm weather. Nice areas to have a picnic, walk a dog or take a stroll by the water. The boat launch tends to get crowded int he summer but there is a separate little areas just for canoes and kayaks so they don't have to wait for the larger craft. A very thoughtful touch indeed. A great park for just about anything you can think of. Whether you want to kick, swing, bounce, peddle, cast or paddle you will find this park to just about the perfect place.

A perfect escape from the summer heat, and big bonus that the coffee shop next door delivers until late afternoon. My daughter had a blast toddling around, checking out all the activities and watching the bigger kids. So many cool things to explore. While during one visit it was quite busy due to camps and parties, everything remained clean, safe, and secure. Loved the themes of the different areas and that age recommendations were provided. When it's busy, you pay for 2-hours per child, with 2 adults free per child. It's a very affordable experience. If it's not busy, you can stay as long as you'd like. You're welcome to bring outside food (I saw many families bring pizza for Friday not dinner, great idea imo) and they have some food and drink available for purchase on-side in addition to the adjacent coffeeshop. This really is a huge win and I'm so happy to have this in the area!

We had celebrated both of our boys' birthday parties here, and it exceeded all expectations--it was an absolute blast! This indoor playground is a clean, safe, and spacious haven tailored perfectly for families with young children. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff who made us feel instantly welcome. The facility was immaculate and beautifully supervised, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. A huge thank you to all the staff for their incredible organizational skills in confirming our date and answering all my questions with ease! The birthday party was incredibly well-organized. When we arrived early, we found the party room beautifully decorated with our decorations that we bring, which made set-up a breeze! Our host was fantastic--keeping us on schedule, checking in with our guests, and even assisting with clean-up afterward. The pizza that comes with the birthday party packet they ordered was delicious, further enhancing the perfect party atmosphere. And the juice box and chips. They also had different size of party room, which is a huge help and nice to have for big parties and small parties. Now let's talk about the playground itself--it truly is a wonderland! With a wide array of play structures, including thrilling slides, adventurous mazes, and soft play areas perfect for toddlers, there's something for every age. As parents, we loved the unique opportunity to plunge into the fun and play alongside our children--something we genuinely haven't experienced at other places. It enhanced our family bonding experience in a way that was truly special. One standout feature is the ability to order coffee online from the neighboring café, delivered directly to the counter. This kept us energized as we watched the kids run wild! The smooth waiver process upon arrival also added peace of mind, ensuring a safe and enjoyable visit for everyone. Overall, Go Play is the perfect destination--whether for a fun day out or a fantastic birthday party! Kids can wear themselves out with endless activities, and parents can unwind, even bringing their laptops to work while overseeing their little ones. We had such an amazing time that we will absolutely be back for more fun and unforgettable memories! If you're searching for a clean, enjoyable, and family-friendly atmosphere, Go Play is the place to be. Highly recommended--go play, go play, go have fun! You won't regret it!

On top of that, there's a basketball court right next to it, which is great for kids/parents who want to shoot some hoops. Parking is easy, and the area feels really family-friendly.
