We are new to the area, and this park was such a lovely surprise. Its fenced, and well shaded with large oak trees. There is a little book library there along with restrooms and water fountain. Its surrounded by beautiful historical houses as well. Parking seems limited, but we had no issues finding a spot. Be prepared to parallel park though!

Very nice. It has shade, covered picnic tables, a field, 3 different wooden play gyms for kids of different ages and swings for different ages. It is in a nice and safe historic neighborhood.

My children & I LOVE this lil park!! The playground equipment is large enough for many children & has a wide variety of activities...PLUS, there is a smaller playground for toddlers & older babies!The gazebo (with one handicap accessible table) is PERFECT for COVID-safe parties (it even has electricity!!) There is plenty of room for a game of flag football or soccer in the adjacent grass field...plenty of seating inside the playground...and the park itself.It is one of our FAVES...2nd only to Ft. Mellon!!

A perfect sized play area for children, fenced in with easy access for strollers, and set back from the street. LOTS of play ground equipment that is age appropriate

This is a great place to let the kids play and meet other kids in the SHADE. So many playgrounds roast in the sun, but the giant oaks that cover this playground and the nice gazebo provide fantastic shelter. Just make sure youre careful on the surrounding streets as the locals run the stop signs with abandon.

Small/medium sized well kept park. Perfect size to be able to keep an eye on your kids but let them run around. There is a public bathroom and a large field next to the park. Parking is on the street, you may have to parallel park.

Great place to let the kiddos run! I have three kids that range from 2 to 9 and the all had a blast. Bigger sizes park with lots of fun stuff for them to do. The whole place is covered by massive oak trees providing time of shade.

Beautiful park, perfect for my 2 1/2-year-old daughter. Three large, separate climbing areas and five slides. Nice neighborhood, restrooms on site, wood chips on the ground. There was even a group of volunteers maintaining the equipment and grounds.Love it, and its close!

Excellent Park in Downtown Historic Sanford. Perfect for the locals to walk to and visit with neighbors while the kids play. They have a smaller kid friendly play set and larger set for older kids. Almost always has a couple of birthday parties going on Saturdays.

Review №43

Love bringing my son here to play! I only give it 4 stars because I miss the old wooden equipment that used to be all connected with much more to do. I do like that with less equipment there is more visibility of my child without me having to be right there next to him. He always has fun here.

Very nice, well kept playground. Theres lots of shade and plenty of playground equipment. I assume anyone can park just about anywhere near the playground because thats what I did and we walked over. It feels very safe in a nice area surrounded by nice houses. My kids had a good time.

Review №47

The kids had a blast as well as the adults. I find that the park if safe and clean. The area seems safe and other parents seem to care about the other kids on the playground. This is a really good place to get some of the energy these kids have. Just make sure parents watch kids because the playground is right by the street.

The playground is almost completely shaded by trees- a must for much of the year in the Florida sun. There are bathrooms, drinking fountain, etc. Everything is close together so its easy to keep track of multiple kids. Several play structures appropriate for different ages.

It’s a very nice playground, shady. However it was packed with a bunch of the rudest children I have ever encountered, 4,5,6 year olds running around unsupervised while their parents stood as far away as possible smoking and cursing. No thanks

My kids love this park! Has plenty of swings, large field for play or bounce houses and tall slide. Also because its in an older part of town, the large trees keep it shaded most of the day.

My kids like going there and its next to a private school so we still go there... Ive found needles TWICE in the bathrooms (not the only for diabetics, mind you) and drawings of penises and crude words inside the slide on multiple occasions. Lets just say we dont go as often as we used to.
