We took my boys on a rainy weekend day (one of the few cold days that we've had this winter), and they had a great time. The sign when you walk in says that the play structure is made for children ages 5-12. However, my 20 month old and 3.5 year old both had a great time. I could see that older kids would have more to climb on and be able to interact with more parts of the structure, but my boys did manage to spend over an hour playing there, no problem. At least half of the kids that we saw playing there were under 5. There were quite a few kids there, but it really didn't seem that crowded. It was also surrounded with benches for parents to sit on when they're not playing and for kids to sit on while they're snacking. They also have vending machines and restrooms. (Thanks to Katie over at Mom in Chapel Hill for reminding us about this place!)
What we liked: We loved that it was a place where our kids could get their energy out even when it was raining. It was safe and we knew where our kids were at all times, which was nice. In addition, it's free!
What we would change: The major drawback of this place is that it's in Raleigh. It's a bit of a drive but worth it when you need a place for your kids to run and play!
