Kid's Castle

"King-sized playground fun!"

Located in Doylestown's 108-acre family-oriented Central Park, Kid's Castle is a community-named, volunteer-built playground that'll amaze your kids.  Our family lives about two minutes from this tremendous playspot, so we frequent it many times throughout the year.  The kids (10, 8 and 4) burn off energy and act out all kinds of adventures here.

Park in the paved parking lot (plenty of parking) and walk down the blacktopped path to the Castle.  The kids will immediately spot the 8-story wooden structure complete with slides, PLENTY of climbing tunnels and crawl spaces, lookout spots, and opportunities to pretend you're running amok in a real castle.

Located around the big structure are other smaller play spaces for younger kiddos.  There's sand, swings, interactive activities (like chimes you can ring), a section with stores kids can walk into so you can pretend to keep shop (the stores are named after real businesses in Doylestown), other climbing structures, smaller slides, ramps, monkey bars and more.  Kids won't get bored!  If you come with 2 adults, one can take a fitness walk along the paved walking trail, and there's also picnic areas  (some covered) and water fountains.  A smaller kid play area is up the hill for the parents who don't want the littlest ones getting lost in the castle.  There are restrooms here as well.  And they're not gross.

This playground is a terrific way to entertain the kids on a nice day.  You don't pay a dime and the park is open everyday from dawn to dusk.  The actual castle, however, closes after the first freeze in winter.  There are also places to bike, soccer fields and tennis courts in case you're not entertained enough.  So pop on your sneakers and get ready for adult-sized fun at a super kid-friendly playground!  Sooo worth the trip!
