Toddler Review

We visited Amara Park on a Saturday morning. It is a lovely spot for a play on the playground and a picnic style snack. Even though it was a Saturday there was only one another family visiting the park so it’s a great place to visit if you are looking for a quieter spot than some of the bigger playgrounds (especially on the weekend!).

The main feature of the playground is the climbing tower with climbing nets, birds nest, and winding slide. It is a pretty steep climb on a rope ladder so it won’t be suitable for a lot of toddlers. If you have one that loves to climb then Amara Park could be a good spot to visit. If you visit Amara Park with a less adventurous toddler I would suggest taking along some balls, bikes/trikes/scooters to add to the fun that you have at Amara Park. If you have children obsessed with swings  like Harper than Amara Park will fit the bill but for the swing obsessed most playgrounds will do. 😄

Enjoy!
