Charles Mill Dam Playground

Honestly, this spot is more about the dogs than anything else — they absolutely love it here, and you’ll almost always spot a few running around when the weather’s decent. It’s one of those low-key outdoor areas near the dam where you can let your pup stretch their legs without much fuss. Details on playground equipment are a bit thin, so if you’re coming with little kids expecting a full setup, maybe call ahead or scope it out first. That said, for a casual outing in Ashland with your four-legged crew, it gets the job done.
