Playground

If you’re looking for a solid spot to spend a few hours with the kids, this one checks most of the boxes. The climbing structure keeps the preschool-to-school-age crowd busy, and there’s a basketball court nearby for the older ones — or any adults who want to shoot around while the little kids play. The shade trees and covered seating are a genuine lifesaver on a hot Florida afternoon, which is basically every afternoon. Pack a cooler and use the BBQ area and picnic tables to make a proper afternoon of it — families do that here regularly and it works well.
