Kid Garden Botumvtey

Kid Garden Botumvtey, often referred to as the Wat Botum playground, is a popular public park located in the heart of Phnom Penh, right next to Wat Botum Park. It is one of the few green spaces in the city offering free and safe play structures for children of all ages.

Located at the edge of Wat Botum Park, near the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument and the Independence Monument, this park is a vibrant spot for families.

The park features swings, slides, and climbing structures, and in the evenings, it buzzes with local families, street food vendors (serving Khmer noodles and curry), and outdoor sports enthusiasts.

The best time to visit is late afternoon (after 4:30 PM) to avoid the heat, although it does get quite busy with locals. While the facilities are generally functional, some recent reviews mention that the ground can be a bit worn due to heavy weekend foot traffic. Public toilets are available nearby for a small fee, though cleanliness can vary.

If you're looking for more family-friendly spaces in Phnom Penh, consider Coconut Park (Koh Pich) for its skating rink, cycling paths, and water games, or Garden City Water Park, a large modern water park located north of the city. Norea Garden offers a peaceful garden with a café and a small play area.
