Has the swings for the bigger kids and also a bigger slide. The other playground is more for the smaller kids to play. It has the swing to put your little baby in and they stay secured to push. I personally think the smaller playground needs to be the one gated since smaller kids play on it and run around more freely. It's located on Michigan street down the way a little from Whittier Blvd. Hence the name Michigan Park. It's a pretty park to come have a picnic or take a walk. Every time I come it's never too crowded which is really nice. Has lots of tables and some bbq pits, so great place for a party.

We spent about an hour here, which was just right for little ones. If you come around noon, you might catch the animals being fed, and kids love watching that!

Adventure Park. It has an early-'90s water-park ring to its name, and while parts of it look like they're from the early '90s, it's just a plain old park with athletic fields, a gym, green space, and some sparse picnic tables. And what would a Whittier-area park be without its obligatory random ravine and/or concrete drainage area? In this case, said concrete drainage area is dangerous-looking for kids and runs right through the park at a right angle. It's fenced off, and there are helpful bridges to cross it, but I wonder why they sited it through the park rather than on one end of it. I'm sure some kids have adventures here, because all parks with grass and play equipment can be fun and create childhood memories. But Whittier has spoiled me with its parks, and while this is technically South Whittier so it's outside of Whittier's borders, it's still close enough that it should feel like a Whittier park, and it most certainly does not. Why? Because it's totally flat. And totally rectangular. When my parents were walking twice a day during COVID lockdowns/curfews, I suggested they visit this park to change up their rotation, which comprised only two or three parks at the time. They said it was OK, and I later came with my mom and realized why it wasn't their favorite. The concrete path isn't totally straight, so there's some variety, but there isn't much shade along the path. There's lots of parking, and it serves its purpose as a neighborhood park, but it could be so much better.

Friends all arrived earlier to get checked in and then they give you bracelets to make sure you've paid but also for re-entry. You can go home to make sure your kids have a nap and then go back to use the pass all day. it's pricier but worth it if you go all day. It's quite a spacious place with trampolines, some swinging ropes, different areas to climb up, a little water room where they provide you some rain boots and rain jackets. They have a bunch of different slides too. An area that is mainly for older kids and an area for the younger kids. It's quite well-designed., I love that they even give you slides to wear to the restrooms so your feet do not get wet. Note: EVERYONE has to wear socks all the time, so make sure you bring a pair. They sell them at the front as well for both kids and adults. For the birthday party, they give you a room to use for 1.5 hours. It's quite a large room and they have balloons, plates, utensils and pizza. They even have this cart cleaning station with napkins and wet wipes too. Employees are there to help with clean up and it's quite nice since the table is U shaped so lots of seating area. We had about 15 kids and the parents and it was still a lot of room. The employees help with cleanup as well. Quite organized. I think in general it is a great place if you want a one stop shop. Parents have to accompany kids, but lots of place for the parents to walk around and keep an eye on the kids if they are able to go alone. I went into the structure and it's not at all too low for the adults to walk around if you're following younger children. Definitely a comfortable spot and I like how plush the floors are.

So it's been a couple months now since I've had my child go to play pie. And it's been helpful for…read moremy child's schedule and routine. I've hesitated a lot to post but as I've been coming almost everyday or having a monthly membership it seems like I MUST due to some lacking of how the business is being run. 1. The staff/ employees are not attentive to running the business hours. They are nice but they do not pay attention to the customers. There will be days where the devices like the carousel is not plugged in to start the day when it's past the opening time. I would ask couple of times on different days letting them know it's not plugged in. (My husband also had gone couple times told me the carousel was not plugged in). Not only the carousel but the arcade for Mario Kart would not be set up where I would call up an employee and ask them about it to set up so the kids not just my child can play ready to go. When a business opens the place should be ready to go for the customers but it would be funny that the customer would have to ask to have the things ready. I am surprised and frustrated because I'm like wondering why isn't the carousel working? Is it broken? No it was just not plugged in ready to go. Why would the business be opened if it's not ready for its customers to use their equipment? I've seen sadly that the employees are just having fun amongst themselves talking in the front but they don't pay attention to the customers wanting to purchase food or drinks or snacks where they have to then just go to the front. I've seen some parents calling the staff for attention but they're not answering where they end up walking to the front. Seeing that is very frustrating because the employees are not doing their job. They don't watch our kids but at least pay attention to the customers trying to purchase one of their own goods. 2. The cleanliness IS NOT MAINTAINED.. This week my mother in law went to play pie and told me she had killed a roach near the car carousel. I'm so sad and disgusted to hear this. I don't know how the facility is being taken care of or how often but this explains a lot. I'm very disappointed to hear this because my child loves to come here but seeing some things on how the business is run makes me feel lack of trust, worries and not safe environment. I'm just hoping things can improve..

I clarified that they were paid for, but she continued to say they weren't, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. My little sister actually went to put the cookies back because she thought she had done something wrong. Valerie also let me know that we were past our allotted time, which I completely understand and had no issue with. However, her tone and the way she handled both situations felt unnecessarily unfriendly, especially for an environment centered around young children. I understand employees have rules to enforce, but I wish the situation had been handled with a little more patience and kindness, particularly when speaking about a 3-year-old child. It definitely made our experience less enjoyable.
