NEPTUNE LGL

Small-town playgrounds don’t always get much fanfare, but this one in Jal serves its neighborhood well. It’s the kind of spot where kids can just be kids without much fuss — quiet streets, not a lot of foot traffic, the way things should be in a town this size. Wheelchair accessibility means nobody gets left out, which matters more than people give credit for. If you’re passing through Lea County or staying local, it’s a solid place to let the little ones burn off some energy.
