"Fort Fun is fun!"

This is a great park, if your kids are a little older. There are many places to run and play, but it's hard to see your kids all the time, unless you want to be running after them! They can play through the whole fort and it's a blast!! There are swings and such for the little ones, but they want to run and climb too, so, just have an extra set of eyes with you.

"Fun with the Family"

Just want to play? Then head to Fort Fun in Huntington Park. This 13,500-square-foot play area complete with mazes, towers, slides, swings, and lots of ladders makes for a great break from the rigors of touring. Here your kids are likely to find some local children with whom to romp.
