‘We didn’t walk through a lot of it but there were three separate play grounds just where we were, one for really little kids, then one of the more newer style equipment ones and then more old school castle slides and the like. Lots of shade, and grass to play on, and benches. Also a separate are for bbqing. We were in between the Holon ice skating and the kids museum and the Water park. Have no idea if there was more on the other side of the Water park… We have been to parks with “fancier” equipment, but this seemed to satisfy most of the age range (combined with a visit to Holon Design Museum).’
