Sherwood Forest Playground

If you’re in Valdez and need somewhere to let the kids run around, this neighborhood spot does the job. The green space around the play area is genuinely roomy — good for stretching your legs when the weather cooperates, which, let’s be honest, isn’t always. There are tennis courts here too, so older kids and adults aren’t just stuck watching. It’s the kind of low-key local park that regulars rely on more than tourists ever find.
