The Central Park Kid’s Playground is a haven for families. It’s just by the Train Station and kids can run, jump. climb, roll, slide, bounce …. well, whatever they want to do a in a safe and fun environment. The free Playground is exclusive to Uptown Station’s Central Park and a great place to play before and after shopping.

By the Village Green, across from Florida’s Tallest Flagple are the Central Park Magic Fountains. From April 1st, they jump up from secret springs just when you’re not expecting them!  You might get wet – but that’s the fun.

The fountains are great place for kids to cool off and great place for families to relax


FOUNTAIN UPDATE! FOUNTAIN UPDATE!

The fountains are taking their winter break. We’ll have them up and running again from April 1st, 2010.
