"Beautiful, inspired playground"

Aquatic Park has many wonderful features, but my review is focused on the playground.  I have an almost 4 year old and a two year old.  Both kids love playing here.  It is hard to keep an eye on both of the kids at the same time, so I usually come here with my husband or another parent so we can keep an eye on all the kids.  That being said, the playground is almost completely enclosed, so it is hard for them to escape.  Also,  while there's lots of nooks and crannies for them to crawl into and up and down, my kids seem safer here than at other playgrounds.  I love this park.
