Common Ground Playground - Playground in Lakeland - Veterans Park, 1000 E Edgewood Dr, USA

This playground was amazing! Stopped in while in the area with my almost 3 year old. So many things to keep him entertained, but he loved the sand the most. We spent a few hours here. Definitely recommend for kids

Very beautiful park, child oriented lots of activities for children’s of all ages definitely one of the best parks for children in Polk county, clean nice bathrooms and all toys and playground equipment was in good condition, multiple parking lots and just all around a well kept clean public park. (My pictures do the park no justice)

An amazing park for a day to spend w kids n love one. A sitting n eating area,play area.relaxing area. Tennis court.Really Clean. Love it

Best playground I've ever seen! So fancy, clean, diverse playground areas. Beautifully maintained, always lovely people here with their tots. It's big yet inclosed so it feels safe. It's heaven here. Lots of safe, lit parking. It's in a good area of homes and such. Parks used to be a core to take the kids to. But we can't wait to walk around here. Shade from big trees, turf where my little guy is exploring grass lately and can be safe from ants and bugs and dirt. I can sit down with him about anywhere and not get attacked by ants which is rare in Florida! Great bday party pavilions to rent. Would be great for pictures. I just love how many families really get into hands on playing with their kids here. It's a treasure here in lakeland!

One of our favorite parks to go to. Very big so have to keep a close eye on the little ones. Your kids will be sure to love it, mine do! 😊

One of the best parks. It gets busy but the kids have fun. It's gated and there are so many little areas of stimulating activity. We drive about 45 min to hang out here and then stay in Lakeland and have a bite to eat. Both my boys 10, 11 enjoy it and have for years. It has picnic areas so it's great to bring some lunch with a friend and the trees and gardens are well maintained and always pretty with blossoms. I feel like I can do laps up and down the walkway trail myself if I want some exercise while the kids play.

Heads up– this park is primarily Astroturf and it gets super hot in the Florida sun/summer. Best time to come during the hot months (mid-April through Mid-October) is in the morning or evening. This is by far our favorite park! So many fabulous options for the kids to play. I love that there is a fence with locked gate that surrounds the entire park to deter people who shouldn’t be there from coming. Also it allows safety so you can let your kids run off and play and no they are “contained“. If you have multiple children it is best to come with multiple hands if you need to supervise them closely as this is a big park. We love that there are things for all ages and all abilities here at the park. The climbing hill and tunnel are a family favorite! Restrooms are limited – two family style bathrooms for the entire park. These bathrooms are not air-conditioned so they get toasty fast! A must do if you were visiting from outside of Lakeland!

Lots of different play areas for different age groups. Some are covered but after 11 it gets very toasty in the summer. Cover any and all valuables that are in your car as the park is prone to break-ins. ( an incident occurred while we were there).
