Playground

Right in Petoskey, this little spot flies under the radar for most people passing through town. The views alone make it worth the stop — honestly, they’re the kind that make you pause for a second before you even think about the play equipment. It’s nothing fancy, which is kind of the point, and kids seem to have a genuinely good time here without needing a lot of bells and whistles. Locals know about it; tourists usually don’t.
