The Bowling Green Playground

If you’re after somewhere your toddler can run riot without you having a heart attack, this one’s a solid pick. The enclosed area with double gates means you’re not constantly chasing them toward the road, which honestly makes all the difference. There’s a good mix of slides, swings, a climbing structure, and a merry-go-round — enough to keep younger kids busy for a decent stretch. The open grass field gives older siblings room to kick a ball around while you grab a spot at one of the picnic tables. It’s nothing flashy, but locals keep coming back for a reason.
