Chimneys of Marvin Playground

Tucked into one of those quiet Waxhaw neighborhoods where you actually know your neighbors, this little playground does exactly what a good local spot should — gives kids a place to burn off energy without having to drive anywhere. It’s the kind of place where parents from the surrounding streets walk over on weekday afternoons and end up chatting longer than they planned. Nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point. If you live nearby, you’ll probably find yourself here more often than you’d expect.
