Raleigh Avenue Playground

Tucked into the Ghent neighborhood, this is one of those spots locals actually keep coming back to — and for good reason. The playground is split into two separate areas, one for the little ones and one for older kids, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a mix of ages in tow. There’s a solid sandbox, plenty of swings, and slides that get consistent use on any given afternoon. Most of it is fenced, so you’re not constantly chasing a toddler into the street, and street parking is easy enough to find. The open grass field rounds it out nicely for anyone who just needs room to run.
