📝 Center Greens Park Playground Review
This is one of the most unique parks we’ve played at in Anaheim.
There’s a classic playground with slides, sensory panels, and swings. But the real star? The Fitcore Extreme Obstacle Course. It’s technically labeled for ages 13+ (probably because it’s so different from typical playground stuff), but my 4-year-old had the best time here.
She used the ropes as hopscotch. Jumped along the side walls. Balanced like a pro on the beams. I was surprised she didn’t spend more time at the playground—she was way more into the ninja warrior vibes of the obstacle zone.
The entire area is spacious, clean, and has a rubber ground surface throughout, which made it super comfy and safe. There’s also a huge grass field, a skate park, and shaded fitness equipment nearby.
Our biggest complaint? No shade on the actual playground or seating areas nearby. We went at 3:15 PM on a weekday in October and it was still super sunny. If you can, visit in the morning or closer to sunset.
