Fun at Commons for Kids

Kids can enjoy the carousel or bounce on inflatables for free, and get creative with the Imagination Playground, the Art Box, a life-size Chess game, and more. 

If the temperature is 80 degrees or above, the inflatable water slide will be available – kids can wear swimsuits.
