A glow-in-the-dark playground in Texas (the first one of its kind in the nation!) is opening by fall 2023 at Oran Good Park in Farmers Branch, and I can almost guarantee it will be your kids’ new favorite place to let loose and burn off some energy. Complete with a 27-foot-tall obstacle course, glowing seats and walkways, and a special toddler area, Joya is truly one-of-a-kind. Plus, it’s suitable for children of all abilities, so everyone can join in the fun.

Ground has broken on the nation's first glow-in-the-dark playground, and it looks like it's going to be an absolute blast.

Named "Joya," which is Spanish for "jewel," the playground will be located in Farmers Branch, a suburb of Dallas. It is slated to open by fall 2023.
The playground will span 18,000 square feet and feature everything from swings to a zipline with interactive lights.

Most of the buzz is centered around the 27-foot-tall obstacle course with six levels of climbing.

The obstacle course is enclosed with dense mesh for safety, so parents can sit back and watch (and not worry!) while their little ones play.
