    We absolutely love this park so much to do and it's so clean. The slides are incredibly, just a…read morelittle tough to get to the top. My only complaint is there isn't enough shade in the summertime so it gets really hot there. We love coming here!

    This is the best playground in the area. My kids (ages 4 and 2) love this playground. The big…read moreslides are super fun and the steps to the slides wear them out which is great for parents. If you want your small children to nap, then have them walk up the steps to the slides a dozen times. There is a nice variety of playground equipment for all ages including swings, a 3 person seesaw, spinning/ climbing thing, etc. All the equipment has a castle theme which is super cute. I love that the entire playground is fenced in with fences high enough that young kids definitely cannot get over. The fencing around the steps/ platforms for the slides is also super safe to prevent falls. I feel totally comfortable letting my kids walk up and slide down by themselves while I wait at the bottom. Bathrooms nearby are better than most playgrounds. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of shade. Some benches are shaded but none of the playground equipment is shaded so you feel like you're baking on a hot day. There are covered benches at the entrance of the playground for parents. But your kids will have so much fun that they'll barely notice how hot they are.

    Love this place! The whole playground is gated with only 1 entrance so u can let your kid run free…read moreand guard the entrance as needed. The castle itself is huge but quite cramped inside so it was alot of work following my 2.5 yo kid inside. The castle is targetted for 5yo and up. My toddler enjoyed the spiral slides. The rest of the playground is nice and clean as well. There's free parking available and the castle is a short walk from there. I went there on a Friday afternoon/evening in late august and it wasn't too crowded. I would come back again if I was in the area

If you live locally it may be worthwhile but the drive for me was such a waste of my time for what this was. Ready? It's a: Big Wooden Castle Yep, that's it, folks. A gigantic version of that swingset-clubhouse combo you bought at Costco only to rot in your backyard because spiders and rain made it so unpleasant for kids that they refuse to use it. It's that creepy clubhouse times 30! It's pretty much a regular playground with most kids swarming the swings and other play features with a few venturing into the old wood play structure. They go in once and don't go back in again. My son was cursed at by older boys who appeared beyond the age guidelines (and I was surprised to see them still interested in a playground). In the myopic darkness of the castle, my son banged his head when inside the dank structure there was suddenly an unmarked (unlit) drastic change in ceiling height. Needless to say this experience was a turn off. Most kids really preferred being out in daylight because the castle felt more like a dungeon. It was fun to see friends and we enjoyed the togetherness of the play date but unless I'm in the area and desperate for a kid distraction, I won't be back.

    I headed over to Evansburg with friends after lunch In nearby Skippack Village. We all enjoy…read moretrails, and with some of us, ahem, older folks more level trails are kinder on our knees and backs. One of us had hiked most of this parks' trails, so they were familiar. Evansburg is tucked away in the world between farmland and new developments, not showy or grand, instead quietly welcoming you. There are large picnic shelters, a hysteric farm house, decent privy's for a park and ambling trails. The first trailed planned was closed due to bridge storm damage. While some of us wanted to climb down and cross the dry-appearing creek bed it spanned, others reminded us of those creaky knees and of hidden sucking mud. Ah yes. So we redirected to another trail, this one shared by horses and dog walkers, about a mile long, winding through trees, at times close enough to the parks' edge to see new development homes' carefully manicured back yards. The mostly flat trail was muddy in places, there having recently been rain, nothing un-navigable. Trail markings are "meh", typical of the less-famous state parks, keep an eye out and, we'll, follow the hoof prints. A pleasant couple hours walking off lunch in the woods.

    No trail head markings except one with a bridge that is about to fall down with a sign to use…read moredetour. No indication of where the detour is located. We only found one trail intersection that was marked, but to be honest we wandered in a circle and got frustrated and left. In hindsight we should have checked reviews because our experience was not unique.
