Playground of Angels

If you’re spending a summer day in Prescott, this spot is worth pulling over for. The play structure is newer, which you can tell immediately — solid build, good fall surfacing underneath, and multiple ways for little kids to get on and climb around without a bottleneck. Slides are the main draw for the under-10 crowd, and the shade trees actually do their job so you’re not roasting on a bench. What really makes it a full day out is the beach access and splash pad right there, so pack accordingly. Washrooms and free parking on site mean you’re not scrambling.
