My two boys - 5 and 8 years old, both liked this park. They especially liked the bridge and the slide made of rollers.

All the previous reviews say it all! Many different playsets for different-aged children. Awesome suspension bridge and looong roller slide. The scenery is beautiful, too. I saw a paddle-boat rental house across the little pond but it wasnt open when we were there. This is a nice break for the kids after lots of sightseeing along the coast.

Let the kids run off the excess energy at this park. Great slides and things to climb on. Lots of room to run around.

Saw rating on tripadvisor and thought it would be a great place to stop and have some free fun. We weren't disappointed. It's near downtown Monterey not too far from the wharf as well. It has a number of different play gyms, a great suspension bridge and even a little maze. Kids loved it, free parking, parents were pleased. Great... More

My first thought, why can't we have this in Alameda. Amazing playground for kids. We were. There for hours and only left because it was seven and way past our three and a half year old's dinner time. He especially loved the suspension bridge. There is an awesome PVC pipe slide. Two large curvy slides three play structures a climbing... More

Brought my 2 year old son and my 7 year old daughter for the second time here. It's the perfect park to get your kids and yourself excited. Slides galore (roller slide gets the kids to giggle), jungle gyms to accommodate all ages and if you're a brave parent like myself, get up in there and have at it! It's... More

We took our four year old here for the afternoon while in Monterey and she loved it! We were there for about an hour but she didn't want to leave. There was tons of play equipment. The coolest thing there was the roller slide and the train at the front of the park. Heck I wanted to run around and... More

An excellent stop off for the whole family, for an hour or two's fun before heading to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I remember playing here as a child, and as I grew older, using the skatepark nearby. I used to love the train at the front of the park, it was very interesting to have there for people to explore... More

We took our son here for the afternoon while on vacation in Monterey, what a great park! Not sure why it is branded as Dennis the Menace but makes it easy to remember what it is called.
