Sterling Forest Playground

If you haven’t discovered this little spot yet, you’re missing out. The fish pond with the deck is honestly the real draw here — kids end up spending just as much time watching the water as they do on the slides and swings. The seesaw’s a nice touch too, you don’t see those everywhere anymore. Tack on the walking path and you’ve got a solid afternoon for families who want something low-key and outdoorsy without driving far.
