Description




Visitors describe the space alternately as a large park with varied play modules and a small, quiet pocket of the city. It functions primarily as a calm, transient stopover where people rest briefly, making the space rarely crowded. Children can explore a train house, monkey bars, slides, a climbing wall, and music games, or cool off under the water sprinklers. A public washroom is available, though its upkeep has drawn mixed reviews.
