Coastal PlayGrove
Take a trip down to East Coast Park’s Coastal PlayGrove this holiday season to let your inner child out. This outdoor playground, which was built on the site of its predecessor, the now-defunct Big Splash, has vertical climbing nets, big slides, and different water attractions such as wading pools and jet fountains. There’s something for everyone here, regardless of age. Even your small children who are unable to climb the towering vertical climbing nets will not be dissatisfied because there are low-lying Leisure Nets to enjoy. The best aspect is that everyone is welcome.
