Memorial Park Playground

Locals with little ones pretty much consider this place a summer staple — the water sprinklers alone make it worth the trip when Meridian hits those brutal August afternoons. There’s a toddler section that actually feels designed for toddlers, not just a token baby swing thrown in as an afterthought. Older kids have enough to keep them busy too, so it’s genuinely one of those spots where different ages can all do their own thing at the same time. The location near shops and ball fields means you can make a whole afternoon out of it without much planning.
