Wonderful Wizard of Oz Playground

Enter Watkins Regional Park from Watkins Park Drive, follow the official map toward Watkins Nature Center, and use the playground parking and paved approach. The playground is east of the Nature Center rather than beside the train or farm.

Free lots are distributed by activity. Use the Nature Center lot for the nature center and bus parking for Old Maryland Farm, then follow signed internal paths; do not rely on a single central pin for every attraction.

Playground access is free during posted park hours. Surfaces and equipment can be hot or wet, shade varies, and active construction, maintenance, weather, or special events can affect access.

Use the mapped developed-area restrooms near the playground, Nature Center, and picnic zones; building restrooms follow their own hours and outdoor facilities may be seasonal.

Playground access is free. Nearby rides, mini golf, reservations, programs, and events charge separately.

The playground has a paved approach and modern play surfacing, but not every element provides the same transfer or sensory access. Use the official map and contact the park for a specific accommodation.

Keep pets out of the playground play surface and closely leashed in permitted surrounding park areas. Service animals follow applicable access rules.

This is the park's major free play destination. Choose a meeting point, supervise across the large themed layout, and bring water because the play zones are spread out.

Playground access is free during posted park hours. Surfaces and equipment can be hot or wet, shade varies, and active construction, maintenance, weather, or special events can affect access.

The park is primarily vehicle-oriented. Local bus and rideshare options require a final walk through a large property, so navigate to the exact facility and arrange the return before arriving.
