Palace Grounds Playground

The zipline here is genuinely one of the better ones in the county — kids queue up for it on a busy afternoon, which tells you everything you need to know. You’ve got your standard slides and swings too, well-maintained and suited to toddlers right up to school age. The shade trees make a real difference in summer, and parents can actually keep an eye on things without chasing anyone around. The walking path around the grounds is a decent loop if you want to stretch your legs while the kids burn off energy. Parking is easy, the place is kept clean, and the open grass field gives everyone a bit of breathing room.
