📝 Aloe Greens Park Playground Review
This is such a beautiful, clean park with wide open artificial grass, modern play equipment, and a really cool obstacle-course feel. The design is striking, with a bright green and black color theme, and it’s a favorite in our rotation, especially when the kids just need room to run.
The playground includes a smaller toddler-sized structure, but let’s be real—my 2-year-old son always heads straight for the bigger net climbers and bridges.
And those rope nets? They’re fun, but the gaps are big. I definitely don’t relax when we’re here. I’m shadowing him the whole time, hovering like a safety drone in case he slips.
There’s also a merry-go-round climber, spinners, and a ton of game tables like foosball, ping pong, and checkers, but those mostly attract the bigger kids or teens or adults. My 2, 3, and 4-year-olds still have a blast exploring the ropes and bridges, and they do spend a bit of time on the toddler structure, just not as much.
One major downside? No bathrooms. My husband literally ran across the street to a friend’s apartment once. It’s the kind of thing that makes you pack up early when someone needs to go.
Still, this place is a go-to for us. I just always pack water, snacks, a picnic blanket, and make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before we leave the house.

👶 Toddler-Friendly?
Yes, there’s a small play structure for toddlers. But if your little one is adventurous like mine, you’ll likely spend your time following them across the rope bridges and net climbers. This playground is technically toddler-friendly, but the net climbers are best for confident climbers or with close supervision.
🚧 Enclosed / Fenced In?
Open. Not fenced off, but spacious enough that it’s hard for a toddler to reach the parking lot without you noticing.
