Bill Bower Oval Playground

If you’re after something low-key with plenty of room to actually kick a ball around, this one delivers. The playground itself is pretty straightforward — slides and swings covering the toddler-to-older-kid range — but the real drawcard is all that open grass surrounding the soccer field. Kids who get bored of the equipment have basically unlimited space to burn energy, which parents around here will appreciate. Restrooms and picnic tables are on-site, parking is easy, and there’s nothing complicated about the whole visit.
