The playground at the Kenai Park Strip is located along Main Street Loop, in Kenai, centered between the ball fields. It is accessible by parking along the curb of Main Street or using Coral Street from either the Spur Highway or 1st Avenue.
I have been coming to this park for years. Like other parks in Kenai, the equipment is outdated, but this has also held up better than most. While I don't like parking along the street, parking is available around the other side of the park, and the play ground is set quite a way back from busy Main Street.
Nearby are some public restrooms (above) - nothing fancy, but it beats an out house and they are generally clean. It is much closer to the street than the playground.
Nearby is a covered picnic facility with cooking grills available. To reserve a grill and table for an event, you can contact the city of Kenai at 283-3692.
I didn't consider this park toddler friendly, but my toddler did have a fair time with the help of her older siblings. I can say that it kept my climbing kid happy.
I don't like that there is graffiti on the equipment. This seems to be a problem at several play grounds locally and indeed, many other playgrounds around the world. My son reported that there were some bad words inside the tunnel. Oh joy. How he saw it, squeezing through there, I'll never know. At 10, he is almost to big for the tunnel.
Where are your shoes, child?!

It was easy for my 3 year old to climb up the equipment and he had a grand time. I would say that this park is just right for kids 3-8 years old. Avoid it busy times like during ball games, unless you want to go to the game, then bonus! There's a playground! There are many summer time public events along the park strip, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a place to play and want to avoid the crowds.
