The good: My kids really enjoyed this playground. It's…read moremassive and the structures all connect to one another. There were swings that allowed two kids to swing together. They also had stone animal statues around. The park is walking distance to restaurants and markets as well. It's colorful and peaceful. There were lots of slides. The floor is rubber so it's less messy than the dirt playgrounds. The bad: It would be nice if the playground had more shade. The water sculpture area didn't have water. The interesting: They were repainting (green color) fixtures and benches when I came so everything smelled of paint.

Most of the animals will surprisingly be out so you won't miss out. I would highly advise going in the AM to avoid the long entrance lines. And the sun would be less brutal as well.

The panda was lonely and inside a dark room. It was hard to look into the dark glass and we could faintly see her silhouette.

The main section is more common and less focused on a specific type of group. There are an abundance of trees, beautiful plants, and flowers. There are also several park benches but not as many as some other parks. There is also a dog park area, that includes two enclosed sections. There were probably ten dogs there with their owners, and luckily I didn't witness any dog fights. Nevertheless, when I came there, there were dogs dogs everywhere in the park. The skaters area is also a park highlight. There were actually more skaters in that area, than there were other people in the park. The entire park is clean and they do a great job of maintaining it.

Their work is amazing. Everything is negotiable. If you buy a piece that isn't framed and you want it framed, there are plenty of framers around the perimeter of the park. Street parking or garages nearby.
