Penguin Park

We took advantage of the beautiful morning last weekend and checked out Penguin Park. My kids loved the giant animals and all the different play areas. I appreciated the turf vs gravel. They had fun going from each area and exploring. Lots of different structures to keep them busy.The park was very clean. We were there for a little over an hour, and will definitely be back another day.

I don't know if it's the unique nature of the one of a kind animal statues, the charm of an old school playground, or what, but Penguin Park is probably my favorite park that I've explored in the Northland. If you have small kids they will enjoy the modern play equipment just as much as they will marvel at the huge sculptures of penguins, elephants, and other zoo animals. I haven't confirmed this, but I heard from my friend that the artist that made the sculptures (some of which are interactive for children), also made the rabbits that go on display on the Plaza every Easter, which honestly makes a lot of sense given how they look. To me, it just feels charming, and I love that it's something that sets this place apart from other parks in the area.

Penguin Park was a lot of fun. I took my girls here and we played on all the different Ings and slides and kangaroos and different things. I really do recommend you take your children here.

An okay playground with fairly decent equipment, but the older equipment could use some serious repair. The Kangaroo comes with an odd stench and cigarette butts. Bathroom on site complete with prison style toilet and a door that does not lock. It's not the worst playground we've visited, but there are definitely nicer ones.

This park really appeals to smaller children - maybe aged toddler - 6 or 7. It's very large and has lots of tables to sit. The equipment is nice but again for smaller kids and the large animals are fun for the older kids to climb on. There is a grass area for the kids to play tag or catch a football.

Fairly large park with assorted slides, rope playgrounds, swings, giant zoo statue animals to climb on, and more. Like that they have soft green grass turf. Pretty well maintained for the area. I would not visit at dusk or very busy times for possible safety concerns, but during the day on a weekday I was not worried. Perfect for kids of all ages.

I went to this park as a child approximately 25 years ago, and it's still wonderful as ever. Definitely made lifetime memories here. Highly recommend for kids.

This is a Very nice big clean park we LOVE it !!!!!!! Lots of activities for the kids. The pond is nice as well

Great playground for the kids. The oversized animals really trigger the imagination. Lovely walking trail the whole family will enjoy as well. Our kids love walking down to the pond to see people fishing and watch the geese.

One of the coolest parks I've been to. My son absolutely loved it. Wish they had a porta-potty for when the bathroom is closed, but otherwise no complaints.
