Langan Park Playground

If you’ve got little ones who are more interested in chasing ducks than climbing structures, this is your spot. The playground itself is pretty basic, but that’s kind of the point — it sits right along the lake in Langan Park, so the real entertainment is watching the geese waddle around while you eat lunch at one of the picnic tables. Locals bring a bag of bread and make an afternoon of it. Restrooms and parking are right there, which matters more than people admit, and the walking path makes it easy to stretch your legs after the kids wear themselves out.
