A beautiful park. But a misleading message for the disabled. The park celebrates allowing children of all abilities to play. This is portrayed in pictures and sculptures. BUT, when we visited to use the wheelchair swings (a rarity in lots of places) - the swings were chained down and there was a sign with a phone number that said to call to have them unlocked. Unfortunately, we had driven almost an hour exclusively to visit this park only to find out you have to call to have the swings unlocked. The saddest part is that they are chained to the ground. So, then you are standing (sitting rather) looking at the possibility for fun, but you cannot use them. Long story short, no one came to unlock the swings although we called multiple numbers. (It makes sense that the swings would be locked as they could potentially be dangerous if someone where to misuse them or leave the ramp down and an able bodied child trip over them. But if this park is going to have a major aspect of its marketing be about inclusion then shouldn't there be a person present at all times to unlock one of the few features that is truly accessible? Let's face it the child with disabilities can't realistically use the slides and various other items able bodied kids can, so perhaps the approach to the swings should be re-evaluated). The park is so beautiful and really looks like a lot of fun for children and families. It is clean and spacious. There is a nice walking path around it. There is a water feature for kids who want to get out of the heat. There is exercise equipment which is accessible. There is even an area for dogs if you insist on bringing yours (although most of the park is off limits to dogs). This park looks great for both adults and children. It is also secured with safety latches on the gates so kids can't accidentally escape. Had we known one had to call ahead we would have. Thus, this is a cautionary tale. The park is fabulous BUT IF YOU NEED ACCESSIBILITY CALL FIRST.

This place is our favorite park to go to! There's a splash pad here but I would recommend shoes! It's slippery! There's always a ice cream truck too. There's a fence all the way around it so you don't really have to worry about kids escaping

Lots of different areas to play. All ages. Brought my 3 year old and 9 year old. There is lots to play on. Plenty of swings and several areas to play and it is gated.

I have been to this park a handful of times. The first time was to drop my daughter off to volunteer setting the park up. After that, we enjoyed birthday parties there and an occasional trip to the park. As my kids have grown I really haven't had a chance to go to A Park Above but it is a great park to take anyone to.

Kid friendly, equipment safe and sturdy and lots of space with multiple different types of equipment for the kids to use. I recommend this place.

Yeah! The park is reopened. It has been closed forever. They took out that fast spinning ride by the base of the green ground slides and replaced it with an igloo with shaped holes. Bummer. Kids liked that ride, but it was dangerous. They added some new patches of AstroTurf. Everything is in working order, except the water fountains are turned off due to Covid. Thankfully that Kona Shaved ice truck is there outside the gates, do you can buy bottled water and cold delights. Enjoy.

I love that this park is gated! Makes me feel better knowing there is somewhat of a barrier for my toddler that likes to run off
