Easily one of the nicest playgrounds we've been to.
We're on a journey from San Antonio to Colorado Springs via Santa Fe with an 11 month old and a 3 year old. We plan stops every 3ish hours. Kid's Kingdom was one such stop. Obviously I peeped the pics ahead of time, so I was expecting a pretty nice large play area.. but we all know pics can be deceiving. Not here. The mulch, grass, fences, and equipment are all really well maintained. The picnic area and trash cans are kept clean. It's right across from the San Angelo River walk (which is really pretty, but we didn't check it out). There's a little body weight type of work out spot just a few feet away under the bridge, and plenty of benches or spots to sit on all throughout the equipment. My personal favorite thing about the playground was the tandem baby swing. My youngest loves swinging, but she gets a real quick when I get to do it with her! My oldest got a kick out of the huge sandbox (I didn't so much)
Down sides? Even though there are a few covered spots sprinkled throughout the equipment, and a little shade from the surrounding trees, most of the playground gets direct sunlight. It's summer time in TX, so it was a cool 98-100 degrees while we were there. Some canopies would've made a huge difference! Also, even though the outhouse style (although flushable) toilets were kept generally clean, the smell of sewage was pretty severe when you got close. Yuck.
Overall, though, great playground! read more
