Riverside Rocket Playground

Great spot for families with little ones — the rocket-themed equipment is a hit with the 2-8 crowd, and there’s enough open grass nearby to let kids burn off energy after they’ve exhausted the play structure. Picnic tables make it easy to pack a lunch and stay a while, which honestly most people end up doing. The water views are a genuine bonus, the kind of thing you’d only know about if someone local tipped you off. Kids around here specifically ask to come back, which tells you something.
