My nephew loves this place!
The middle ground between backyard Slip-and-Slides and sprinklers on the one hand and commercial water parks on the other, "sprinkler parks" such as Suggs provide kids with a fun place to cool off and give parents an option for a free morning or afternoon outing.
The brilliance is in the small details: the ground is covered with a relatively soft foam rubber-like surface that (1) makes the ground less slippery but also (2) cushions inevitable falls when they do occur. Also, the entire interior surface slopes ever so slightly downward toward the middle so that almost none of the water strays outside the playing area but instead drains for reuse, swimming-pool-style. (The missing star in my review is due to a few holes in the playing surface...I hope these are repaired by next season.)
The sprinkler park will, unfortunately, close for the year on September 16. I know my nephew will be back as soon as it opens next year, though! read more
