A few days ago we checked out Lesley "Les" Miller Jr. All People's Community Park & Life Center…read more It's home to Hillsborough County's largest adaptive playground. The playground has swings for different age groups and abilities. My kids enjoyed going down the slides, the rope- and rock-climbing structures, musical elements, and spinning structure. There's plenty of shade over the playground and benches for parents. The newly opened splash pad was a hit with my kids. Plenty of shaded seating for parents and bathrooms are nearby. Don't forget to pack snacks for the kids (please clean up after your family), sunscreen and reusable water bottles. Not as crowded before 12 pm.

The best part of this park is the staff! Everyone greeted us and asked if we were ok. The park and…read moregrounds are also amazing. There was some ongoing construction happening during our visit so parking was a little tricky but it was such a nice space.

What a cute little park in Brandon. It's gated, clean and free to use…read more The playground has multiple sections: the swings, the splash pad, the 2-5year old play area and the 5years and older area. My daughter, who is almost 4years old was able to utilize the older kids area without any challenges. There are some pavilions with benches and tables to avoid the direct sun. Perfect for groups. There is also a bathroom on site but it's much to be desired. The playground is adjacent to a ballpark, not sure the protocol to use it. I would definitely return though to the playground if I'm in the area.

I think that this is called a Mango Recreation Center now...?…read moreI'm not sure who posted about it being dirty. It looks like it has been fully, and newly remodeled. It's absolutely gorgeous. The best playground I have found in the area: extremely clean, wonderful updated play areas for young children. 'Turf' grass. Super clean. This will definitely be one of our favorite spots.

Only reason I am not giving this park a 5 is because there were a couple kids there with realistic Looking Bb Guns. Very unsettling! I am all for 2nd amendment rights, but for kids to be walking around a park with BB guns that look like a Smith Wesson ??!! Dangerous We will be back to this park because it's close to home but was not happy about the guns.

This park is very popular in the Brandon area. It's mostly…read moreshaded by big oak trees with lots to do for the kids. They have a scavenger hunt on one of the play areas to find cute little animals around the playground. On the weekends they usually have a icee truck or ice cream truck to ge the kids a nice cold treat after running around for awhile.

There are plenty of different sized slides, jungle gyms, swings, climbing activities and bathrooms. This park can get busy! And get busy and crowded early! There are two large Parking lots available! However, beware!!! There are these large trees and in certain seasons, the nuts/seeds fall and will either possibly hurt you or possibly dent your car! Otherwise, I highly recommend this park!

This is a multi use park. It has a playground, soccer/football/baseball field and basketball court…read more Parking is modest. The park is ran by the Hillsborough County and is open from dawn to dusk. Only service animals are allowed but I've seen people come here with their dogs. There are water fountains and plenty of metal trash bins. I'm sure there are bathrooms but I never stay long enough to find one. There is a covered area with picnic tables but the playground and the playground has swings and slides. It's designed for children age 5-12. The playground is in an ideal area under large moss covered trees. I do recommend this park and will upload more pictures on our next visit!

Cookie Monster's Canopy Crawl provides a 3 story elaborate netted obstacle course which will…read moreprovide your young child hours of fun at the Sesame Street Safari of Fun Kids Play area in Busch Gardens Tampa Theme Park. There is a vast area of netting that connects kids to many areas of Sesame Street Safari of Fun including Elmo's Treehouse Trek, the Count's Zambezi Rally, and more! Infants are not permitted and adults must be accompanied by a child. Yes it sounds backwards but it is their policy so that the area is mostly occupied by kids. This attraction's Sesame Street mascot is the Cookie Monster, who is a blue furry monster with googly eyes and an insatiable appetite. Cookie Monster's primary craving is cookies, but he can and often does consume anything and everything, from apples and pie to letters, flatware, and hubcaps. When Cookie Monster eats something, he makes a very distinct, loud munching "noise", often interpreted as "OMM-nom-nom-nom..." & says "Me want cookie!" Instead of "I want a cookie". After winning a game show contest, Cookie Monster comically choose 1 cookie over an array of luxurious much more valuable and better prizes.

Pros: They had a lot of things for the kids to do to get their energy out. Staff were very kind and helpful. Cons: Place is small and can get crowded very fast. Some of toys were old and were thrown everywhere, of course expected by children but it made the play area very messy and hard to maneuver around. It was okay overall but it was just smaller and space was a bit tight for everything. Parents didn't really watch their kids so they would be stealing toys from other kids and it wasn't really a friendly place for my child. A lot of parents were there to socialize with other parents so they didn't watch their kid so that posed a danger to their children and every one else's.

The park itself is…read morea sprawling landscape that nestles between a channel that connects the boat landing to a larger body of water.

And if your baby puts something in their mouth they have a basket for you to put the toy in so that no other baby gets to it. So this is a nice protection effort from the staff. I appreciate this. The place was cool and smelled good. I went to another baby playground and it was HOT and felt nasty (and the carpet had hairs) but this place was so clean and comfortable!! My baby was able to play freely and did not overheat. Also, they have snacks and drinks available for purchase. So I purchased a food pouch for my baby. This was very convenient! She loved the play area. She just started walking so this space offered a lot of room for her to practice. She enjoyed exploring! There is so much to do. She didn't seem to want to leave either We will definitely be returning very soon! My only suggestion on if you plan to visit is to call in advance to see if there are any events going on, because it seems that they may close for events? Please correct me if I'm wrong. So I called the morning of to ensure that I could take her.
