Penn Township Community Park Home of Kids Kingdom — Attraction in Penn Township

Good place for younger and older kids. They have a semi-split section for younger kids to help keep them out of the path of the older kids running around. There are a ton of various physical activities for all the kids; rope bridges, monkey bars, tire swings, slides, ect. Maintenance can take a while if something breaks, currently a swing has been broken for nearly a week now. Every few days someone comes around and picks up trash left by parents. There's a couple baseball fields, a sand volleyball setup and a small soccer field. They have a covered pavilion in the woods by the 'kingdom' and another by the front building. I believe the first is first come first serve, not sure about the latter. The parking lot is one way, but I've occasionally had to dodge parents who don't seem to understand that. The bathrooms are portajohns. In the winter they usually have one, but over the summer they'll have a lot more; last summer it was usually 5+. There are a lot of trash and recycling receptacles placed all around, so there's really no excuse not to use them. Occasionally large groups will make use of this place as a field trip, but it's a huge park and usually isn't sardined even...

Easily overcrowded with not much to do. Expect your kids to get bored of the current playground and want to explore outside the little playground that we all once knew as...

The kids really enjoy this place. It has different sections for different age groups, a pavilion, large fields, a fence around the playground. I'd give it 5 stars if it was based on the children's point of view but I had to leave one star out because as a mom's point of view, there are some things broken on the playground that could potentially be dangerous to younger children (toddlers mostly). The climbing "nets" have some links broken where smaller kids could fall through. Overall though, I will continue to my monsters here for days at the park. If you have young ones, like under the age of 4, I would just keep a close...
