It was GREAT!! My baby frills just started walking independently in the last few days, so this was the first park she was able to explore while on two feet... There was so much to do she didn't know what todo with herself! She climbed all over the toddler area, spending lots of time with the mirrors, abacus, and blocks on a rod that she flipped around. There was a steering wheel and a very fun musical pipe thing that she kept tugging on to make them chime. She laughed so hard while playing with everything! I loved this park for all the fun it offered my little one. The squishy rubber surface made reduced my nervousness as she took all of her wobbly steps. My only complaint: it was a sizzling 96 degrees while we were there (between 5-6pm), and very few areas to hide in the shade. I will return to this park, but i will wait until it's cooler outside. Great park! Side note: as we were driving up the hill to the park, we noticed another park in another neighborhood down below. After our playtime at the eastside park, we drove down there to explore. We found the park, and what do you know.... It was Jean Woodward park! It's an entirely separate park from eastside, not connected at all. I didn't see an address, but it was on granby. No restrooms, very small, parking on the street only, no swings, bark play surface, equipment was listed as 5-12 years old, no fence. Just an FYI. I took a picture from my car and will be happy to email it to you if you are interested. My family and I visited this park this evening. It was GREAT!!
