Darden Towe Playground

One of the more underrated spots on the east side of Charlottesville, Darden Towe sits inside a bigger park that already gives you a lot to work with. The accessible design means it’s genuinely usable for more kids, not just a checkbox situation. Families in the Pantops area especially seem to make this a regular stop, and honestly, it makes sense given how little competition there is out that way.
