It is awesome with a baby/toddler playing area and other play areas with a map to help you find the appropriate areas for the children to play in, bathroom area was nice and clean with a family bathroom available. The kids spent 2 hours off of electronics ages 5 and 7, without a single Im bored. Even the teenager had fun keeping the little ones busy. They call it the Butterfly park.

A very great place to take the children, for the park to have 3 playground levels keeps my 3 kids happy especially that they are 4 years apart. It is gated and you can keep an eye on the kids very easily. Parking available in the back makes it easy access. Also available restrooms.

Clean park, family friendly and beautiful. They have a variety of areas to play in for all ages. It can be overwhelming to keep track of your children if you have more than one little one, but having one main entrance helps. They have so many places to explore that keeps the park fun for the kiddos.

This is an awesome park. Its very safe too. You can bring all ages here as there is something for everyone. Parents can hang out in the shade. Ive taken my kids out to the zoo, sea world, and other fun spots but they still seem to have the most fun here and its free!

This is probably the best playground I have been to for free. Yes its out doors but it does have shade. Bring your own water though because goodness its hot out here!!! Plenty to do and climb, my three year old could not get enough of discovering each activity.

Safe and secure clean playground. Havinf a teen and a 7 year old could be a challenge to entertain yet this playground is great for all children. I love being just 5 minutes away! My kids always have a great time and are grateful for such a place.

Love this park!!! The only reason its not 5 stars is that there are somethings that really need an update like the toddler section. But my kids dont seem to notice. They are always asking to go to the big park!

Great park. By far one of the best we have been to. It was very clean and the landscape was well taken care of. There was something for everyone. A giant grassy hill with a tunnel underneath and rock climbing structures in addition to 5 different playgrounds. With 3 levels of ability.

This is our favorite playground! We only wish we lived 20 hours closer! Only downside is that the Bathrooms are like prison bathrooms and my kids won’t use them :(. Otherwise the equipment is amazing, love the different and unique options that you don’t see everywhere else!

Review №32

Common ground is great! There is so much to do! Our kids love it. It is a little easier now that our kids are older (4 and 5) and know how to find us. Little ones (1-3) have a hard time knowing where they are and tend to wander. If youre 1:1 its awesome. There is something for everyone.

This place has a lot of really fun areas for kids of all ages. Each area has a number that corresponds with your childs age. They dont clean it very well though. We saw bird poop on several pieces of equipment. The best part is its free!

This park is AMAZING! Tons of equipment creatively done. Lots of space to run. My son was obsessed with the fire station section. We drove all the way from Winter Garden and it was well worth it for us. Rounded the trip off with Fred’s for an early dinner! We will be back!

Review №46

Both of my children absolutely love this playground. My only issue is when the bigger kids are throwing (yes, literally) eachother down the hill and slide. Its dangerous not only for them, but for the babies, also.

This is a great playground. It was designed to be enjoyed by children of varying abilities and challenges. My children have immense fun while visiting this playground. In fact they will insist on driving the 1/2 hour here instead od the closer 3 minute drive to the newer one by the house.There is a ton of stuff for the kids to do here.

Review №59

This park was soooo much fun. The only thing that stinks is that the equipment gets super hot and its pretty much impossible to play. I love the fact it has themes and levels for different kids. So much climbing and make believe here! Its a great park. I love that it has a clean bathroom and water fountains. Its gated which is great. Lots of parking and its not hard to find. I loved the slides and the tunnels. Its unlike any park weve been too! It has one of those swings that the parent can swing at the same time as the baby which is super neat!

Great park for kids of all ages. We had a group of kids ages 1-14 and everyone had fun. The grass hill to slide down is the best. Only 4 stars because the bathrooms are bad. Two bathrooms for the whole park. The floor was completely wet in the one I went into.

Review №65

I drive from brandon to lakeland with my kids to get reptile food and randomly came across this HUGE park.. this park is amazing! The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of the limited parking. Other than that, theres so much for kids to do and its all fenced in so you dont have to worry about them running into a street. Its very well kept and very clean! Theres so much to do it brought my inner kid out too! My pictures do not do justice for the size of this amazing place.

Great park for every age. The only bad thing would be the bathroom, poorly illuminated and dirty . Some people doesn’t respect the rules of no using rollerblades or bicycles inside the playground

It was so hot that day, so we had to be careful what we played on so we wouldn’t get burned. We’re from PA and this was such an amazing playground!! My daughter had a blast exploring. She couldn’t get enough! Despite her being completely drenched with sweat!!! We will be back when we come to Florida again.

Beautiful Park. Kids had a blast. Lots of things to do here. It is divided by age. Has a couple of picnic tables and a couple of gazebos. Great shades under trees for a nice picnics on the ground, just bring your blanket. Bathrooms and water fountains. Parking is limited and on weekends might get full. Lots of shaded area that keeps kids cooled off. This park is fun for little kids and big kids too. Has couple tennis courts.
