teddy bear park

After promising the kids a trip to Teddy Bear park, boy were they disappointed !! The gate to the park was locked at 11:30 am !!! Be sure the place is open before you make any commitments !

Located in downtown Stillwater it is a great place to take the family for an hour before heading to one of the many great restaurants that Stillwater has to offer.

My little sister loved this place growing up and now I get to share wonderful memories with my niece and nephew here. Plenty of seating for parents, nice big bathrooms, and an abundance of things for kids to climb on, through, or in. Its the best park in town.

Fun, cute park for kids big and small! It is also fenced in! My only only complaint is there are no bathrooms.

This is a great place tucked in amongst several buildings. The park has nice rubber padding (helps with the falls). Nicely maintained, the kids will want to spend all day.

My 1 and 4 year old grandboys had a fun time at this park. Maybe a entrance/exit gate that only an adult can open would be nice. They had a great time playing in the sand!

We took our 4 year old granddaughter here and she loved it. This is one of the nicest playgrounds ever, with plenty of things to climb on, swing on, and hide inside. There is a stone wall on one side, with a sand pit in front of it, so the kids can climb on the rocks and jump off into the sand. The big stone teddy bears are beautifully carved, and make for great photo ops.

This Park is great. Unique grounds make play interesting and fun to keep the kids entertained and active. Potty (indoor) right on site. Bring a packed lunch or snacks and kid friendly beverages to extend play time. Plan for a nap or rest time for little ones after.... this place is fun!

Get your picture taken with one BIG teddy bear. Great for little kids and their handlers, lots of equipment to climb on , nice flowers, roomy. Family friendly hours, very clean.

After hearing good things about it, my son (4), daughter (11mo), and I traveled to Stillwater to check out this park. It is tucked into a corner of a block with a rocky wall on one side. They packed a lot of play into a small space. There are three separate play areas plus a small amphitheater. One of play areas appears to be gears for smaller kids, but bigger kids had fun on it too. It has a series of play train cars that kids can scramble through and in and out. The second play area is a taller play structure with slides and steps. The third play area is along the rock wall and offers kids a place to climb around with sand at the bottom.My son loved it and my daughter crawled around a bit. There is a small pavilion in the middle, but not a lot of other shade. We went on a summer weekday morning and it wasn't too crowded. The parking lot was full when we left just after lunch. I would go there again. And it is really cute. :)

The kids loved climbing on the Teddy Bear statues. Even though the park is recommended for very young kids, our kids loved it ages 5, 8, 10. There is an area for smaller kids but there is also climbing for bigger kids. Well worth a visit!

Well built, great place for pre-schoolers. Even when busy it did not feel that crowded. Great slides and places to climb.

After hitting two shops and having lunch with two toddlers (ages 23 months and 3 1/2 years old), we discovered this place when we climbed the famous steps and spied it halfway down. The men-folk ended up at this playground with the kids while the women-folk shopped the rest of Stillwater sans kids. This park kept the kids occupied the entire time, and they would have stayed longer if we had let them. The layout is great--there is only one way in/out, which is remote from the actual playground equipment, so there was never any worry about your child wandering off. The setting is lovely, built into the bluff face. The first 10 vertical feet are man-made with climbing niches, but blend very well with the natural bluff above that. THere are two large sand areas with lots of sandbox toys, and the 23 month-old spent most of her time playing in them. There are many playground areas. Our 3 1/2 half year-old spent most of his time on the one with the highest slides, and it featured a large diameter hollow "tree" trunk with three layers of hammock-like levels inside the tree trunk to go down. He called it the "hammock tree" and spent most of his time going up the stairs to it and climbing down inside of it. For a spell when there were no other kids going through it, he actually hung out on one of the hammock levels for a a while. This station also has sliding rings where you can zip from one platform to another. Another playground station is a long train with many cars and various monkey bars and small slide worked in. THere are others too, and two large concrete teddy bear sculptures for photo ops. THere is central seating for parents so you can see the entire park, and seating in the corner with picnic tables where one mom had her laptop open while her (older) kids played. There were all ages of kids here, from babies to high school kids, and they all got along well. A truly awesome playground!

Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater is such a fun time for little kids. The whole place is Stillwater themed and feels like it just fits right in with the surroundings. I know they spent quite a bit on building the park and it shows. Rather than a woodchip mess, they used that soft floor foam everywhere. It helps keep everything looking cohesive and reduces injuries. Even the bluffs that surround part of the park have false front that blends right in so the kids can climb and jump off something more safe for kids. There are bathrooms, shaded areas for parents and they have a little concert area where you may catch a musician or storytime too. Just a fun place for kids under 10.

What a great gift to the city of Stillwater and its families. A fun park with Stillwater-themed areas (trains, bridge, river, etc) that is perfect for kids of all ages. There are shaded areas for cooling off or for adults to watch the kids. Need to swing by if in Stillwater.
