Wernig Park

If you’ve got a toddler or a preschooler, this quiet little neighborhood spot in Naples is worth knowing about. The climbing structure and slides are newer, which makes a difference — no rusty equipment or splintered wood to worry about. Shade trees do a solid job of keeping the play area cool, so you’re not dragging a sweaty, sunburned kid back to the car after 20 minutes. Picnic tables are right there if you want to make an afternoon of it, and the open grass field gives kids room to run while parents can actually see what’s going on without chasing anyone down. It’s a clean, low-key park that does exactly what it needs to do for the little ones.
