Fun Forest is the ultimate children's playground, imagination center and family adventure area located on three acres of the City Park. The Forest was built by over 1,800 volunteers and has been open since 1995. The park is also the winner of the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society "Best New Facility in Virginia" award in 1996.
The playground features an older children's area, which encourages gross motor-skill development and features a dragon, three-way underground telephone, shaky bridge, dolphin tunnel slide, and many more challenges for the children. The science and learning area teaches mathematics and science while children have fun playing with mirrors, whisper dishes, and a planet walk. The toddler playground invites little ones to steer a plane or truck, swing, slide and more. The story circle offers a great place to sit, visit with friends and neighbors and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, or get a bird's-eye view through the bird-watching tubes on the nature walk.
The newest additions to Fun Forest include the Fossil Dig-a dinosaur buried in a pit under sand scattered with "fossils" to take home if you are lucky enough to find them-and the aquatics area, apropos to our locality, where you will find turtles, sharks and a whale for climbing. Fun Forest is truly a place for the entire family to come and enjoy!
