There is a Porto Potty and covered area with picnic tables. It is toddler-friendly with an area for the littles with baby swings, smaller slides (one is currently broken), and even sandboxes. Note that it isn't fenced and there is a large water retention area with a bridge kids seem to be curious about. I grew up in IL with a very similar wooden park, also named Kids Castle, so it is nostalgic to bring my own kiddos here. Something for every age, expansive, and rarely many people here. In fact, we are often the only people there!

Was really looking forward to trying after all the hype....what a let down…read more Gorgeous atmosphere, location & the staff was incredibly professional, now if that could be applied to the food quality they'd be in business. Mediocre Cocktails, appetizers luke warm at best. Tried the pork chop which was decent, the glaze was the best part. We were concerned when everything came out so quickly, not usually a good sign & unfortunately correct. Truly the worst Brussels sprouts I've ever had, cold, overcooked & terrible flavor, we sent them back & replaced w/ EXACTLY the same thing! Again, NOTHING is fresh served in 2 min! 3rd time replaced with luke warm hospital broccoli, not an ounce of seasoning. Half the meal wasn't eaten. Was kinda shocked no effort was made to comp part of the bill, desert....etc. Great place for a so-so cocktail and a walk in the gorgeous grounds is about it.

Variety of areas for differing age groups and something for everyone. The parking is easy and directly next to all the action. My two nit-picking suggestions? It would be great to have more bench seating directly surrounding the playground (especially for those who bring dogs but also want to keep an eye on kiddos) and a fenced playground would be amazing for the runners. Overall, this is the best playground in OR.

I really struggled with the rating here - for me it's a 3.5 overall…read more Highlights: The playground portion was awesome, fully accessible for me to go in and keep up with our little dude. The open spaces to roam are essential for us, and we felt good about him being on the playground side. The staff was really nice on the way in and was occasionally walking the grounds, picking up, checking in, etc. Improvements needed: the hands-on toy section needs a redo. At one point, I'd say it was in excellent quality...but it's clear wear and tear and no investment have led to some of the tiny rooms leaving little to the imagination, with most stuff scattered about with no structure (and existing toys worn out). Kids can make the most of a lot, but this needs a refresh. Side note...the furniture has some sharp points too...if budget can't permit replacing with things with smoother edges, then at least put some covers on the corners. We didn't feel good about that section and tried to block and cover it. That, or gate it. All aside, we are grateful for all the little spots like these that give variety to our kiddo with special needs.

This place was absolutely worth the drive from our town…read more Usually I hate these kinds of places because of kid germs and the mass spread but this place was very clean.

The kids park across the street has large wrought iron entrances. Four large sets of modern playground equipment are not as well upkept as the baseball field across the street. What the sets need is a good pressure washing to reflect how nice they really are. The playground is completely handicapped accessible and has many benches around the edge for adults to park it and sit on thier phones. Which is great, because I hate standing around hovering over my kid, reminding him to be careful. He's fine with me on a bench waiting. I'd rather write for yelp! Mius a star for the pressure washing ISSUE, and the lack of shade on the playground. Come on Knoxville. You got it, flaunt it.

We found this park when the bus forgot my kiddo and we had to drive him to school. We ended up…read morefeeling grateful because Glenwood Elementary is right down the street and this little gem of a park is perfect for cool Fall-ish days! When you pull up, the parking lot is set apart from both the playground and the adjacent soccer field. Note that it is not stroller or wheelchair-friendly, since there is no walkway and parking is up a somewhat steep hill. Re: the soccer field, not sure if it is typically open to the public, but we brought a ball and found an open gate and were able to run and play on the field with our kids. The playground is well-kept but definitely open to the elements, so it would be a scorcher on a warm day and in direct sunlight. I do wish that they had a covered area or even a small pavilion/area to sit and watch kids or have a lunch between play sessions. There are a few benches sprinkled throughout. There is one playset that is perfect for toddlers and another designated for ages 5-12. The two slides on this second set are very steep, so be prepared for your kids to go down like a speeding bullet. ;-) Overall, a great little park! I loved that there is something to entertain all three of our kids, regardless of age or ability/bravery.

My favorite thing here is the huge green space in the middle of the main loop. It lends the feel of a big city park because you can take a blanket and a book and sit on the trees, right in the middle of a somewhat busy community. The trail is well maintained, and our dog loves the trees and pond. Check out this little neighborhood gem!

If you are visiting the nearby Central Filling Station food truck park with kids, take a walk down here and let them run off some steam before calling it a day, or heading to a brewery. This park can be a part of the perfect family day. Enjoy the day!

Conveniently located park, right next to the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge. So close that I…read moreactually thought it was an extension of the museum. Perfect if you're closing out the museum and need a place to run off energy afterwards before heading home. It has a parking lot next to it that would be accessible for wheelchairs or strollers. There is a covered pavilion with picnic tables, a playset for bigger kids and an area for the little ones with smaller climbing areas and slides. A separate swingset and a great grassy hill, perfect for rolling down round out this nice park. Why not 5 stars? Lots of litter and not quite as well-maintained as some of the other parks in town. Doesn't impact the stars (since it's not the park/city's fault), but we also left in a hurry last time due to the house next door practicing their shooting. Gun shots and smoke scared my kiddos quite a bit.
