Totem Heritage Playground

If you’re looking for a playground that actually lives up to its surroundings, this one delivers. The equipment is genuinely new — slides, swings, climbing structures, and some musical drums that kids absolutely lose their minds over — and it’s kept up in a way that tells you someone actually cares about the place. Sitting right near the forest, the views are the kind that remind you you’re in Southeast Alaska, not just any old park. Good for toddlers through older kids, so you’re not dragging different-aged siblings to two separate spots. Locals know it, but it’s not so crowded that it stops being worth the trip.
