This place is so much fun for the kiddos. Love the zip line swing and how it's surrounded by trees.
I'm so glad for finding this! It's tucked away so make sure you pull into the right place. if google maps takes you to a daycare playground pull out and drive out further along the road by the trees and turn left. Private and once you enter it opens up into a fantastic play area full of sensory exploration for kids - there are big xylophones drums etc. loved it and ofcourse slides and swings for kids
The Sensory Garden is a cute little playground. I made a day trip out to see it due to high reviews. Followed the advice on having a picnic etc. I had an 8 year old, 5 year old, and one year old with me. From reviews I was expecting large parks and a fairly large trail that you could walk around. With a tag line of "play for all" I thought it would have things for multiple ages of children. I had high hopes. It was tucked away. You enter and go thru a massive sign. You cross a bridge! Still had high hopes! But if you want an honest review, all these bells and whistles in the beginning lead up to a pretty meh experience. It's a small park made for small children. Think toddlers and smaller. Slides that aren't super tall. The 5 year old in my party was borderline too old for it. 1 year old loved it. It filled up fairly fast with moms and babies and got crowded fairly early on in the morning. The park itself has two baby seat swings. No swings for older children. A few cool structures that you can pose by. Climbing is discouraged. A few big art pieces the kids can drum on. Some dirt to dig in, 3 or 4 shovels provided by the park to use. Listen, it's cute and quaint. But it most definitely isn't a playground for all children. The 5 and 8 year old were bored after 20 minutes. We walked the small trail next to the play area. I thought we would find more structures or something. We didn't. It was a basic trail with work out structures built for adults that want to do arm walks and pull ups. The kids area ended with the little park. We tried to have a picnic but the couple of benches available were filled with mom groups etc so we didn't eat there like we planned. My final take was -- if you live close by (and have a baby-4 year old with energy to spare) it may be worth a trip. Get there early. Don't make a special trip out for it -- it doesn't live up to the hype.
What a great park. I never even knew it was there. Thanks Yelp for helping me find out about it. Loved the musical area the pipes have the beautiful sounds with vibration too. We walked around the beautiful trails. Definitely going back when it's a little cooler and walking down all the trails and see where we end up at. Beautiful walking through all the trees and foliage not to mention all of a sudden there would be a big section of wild flowers. Ran into a area with huge open grass areas recommend anyone with little ones To make a trip over there. And it's free and not just your typical playground park.
This is such a great place for kids. Fun poles, xylophones, and intricate sculptures made of every day things. It definitely is super appealing to the senses. I enjoy walking down the workout trails too- they are surprisingly extensive and underutilized. We take our kiddo down the trail and let him wander around. There are fields and lots of space to roam away from the park. It's a one of a kind place!
This experience is by far BEYOND my expectations as far as the planning, implementation, and final product! I took my son to this playground and boy-o-boy were we in for a treat! There was amble parking, beautifully manicured flower beds, grass, and trails. The enternece was breathtaking AND interactive! While the final product is not complete, the sensory garden was and it was a hoot! I have included photos for you to see! A couple of pointers... 1. This gem is nestled behind Navastar and was a bit hard to find. Look for the small parking signs with arrows though and you'll be just fine. 2. There was a port-o-potty, but I did not see permanent washrooms (they could exist, I just didn't see them). 3. Bring a picnic! So many benches and open area, it was a blast having breakfast there!!
This place is located in a really random place at first it was hard to find but once we did parking was plenty and what a great park! My daughter 1.5 years loved exploring everything...will look forward to the expansion! The art work/sculptures throughly is also interesting to look at, the music spot is fun too! We took a nice little walk on the trails after we had some fun in the park itself. Don't hesitate to check it out with your little ones!
The playground part of it is quite small I think for the amount of space they have to work with. It's cute and the interaction part of it is nice, but I think the walking trails were much cooler. We will most likely be back to enjoy this location if were in the area again. Thank you!
Very cute park. I like how it's tucked away and not super close to a parking lot. My Littles are less likely to run to the car. It's a little hard to find because of this as well. Loved the entrance to the park with all the art made of recycled material. The kids enjoyed seeing what everything was actually made of. It's not very shaded so the equipment does get hot. The kids like the differce in the design.
This park is especially good for young children from 1-5 years old. There are not many parks that have this many things to do for this age range (especially the 1-3 year olds) so I was very excited about it. There were many toys that made noises, rocking horses, a large green dome with holes, and a smaller playground with slides. They are still fundraising to build a playground for children 5-12 years old. Once that playground is built I'm sure it will be even more of a hit for families. That said there are features that the 5-12 year olds will like! Two large slides, an obstacle to climb on, and a glider swing. There are also several walking trails. My son loved this park! We will definitely be back. read more
Finally a park designed for kids with Autism or special needs. Great for all kids but this one is designed for there safety. There so much to do that you can spend hours here. There is plenty of shade as well. The park is very hidden but if you see the horses head your in the right spot. There is a bit of a walk to get there but you'll be amazed once you reach the park. Plenty of spots for strollers and they have larger porta potti's. There are two playgrounds that are for older kids that I wouldn't recommend for kids 3 and under but everything else the younger kids can do. read more

What a beautiful play ground! It's not huge, but it is a quality place and they are adding on. I love that the ground is that rubbery turf, so you don't have to worry about mud or garbage you find in wood chips. Plenty of shade, port o porty, picnic tables, ample parking. We can't wait to go back! read more
