Hinckley Playground

If you’ve lived in Hinckley any length of time, you’ve probably spent at least a few afternoons here. The basketball court gets regular use, and there are picnic tables if you want to stick around after the kids burn off some energy. What stands out is how consistently clean and kept-up the place is — not a given for a small-town park. It draws a real mix of ages, which says something about how the community has claimed it over the years.
