Middle Rock Playground

Tucked away on North Waterfall Drive, this is one of those low-key local spots that Valdez families just kind of know about. It’s nothing flashy, but when you’re in town and the kids need to burn off some energy, it does the job. The surrounding scenery alone — because, well, it’s Valdez — makes any outdoor stop worth it. Worth checking out if you’re in the Middle Rock area and need a quick outdoor break.
