Wilkins Playground

If you’re lucky, you might spot a moose wandering the tree line while your kids are on the swings — that’s just a regular Tuesday at Wilkins. The climbing structure gets a solid workout from the 2-to-12 crowd, and honestly it holds up well; the place stays surprisingly clean for how much traffic it sees. Shade trees make it bearable on warmer days, and the open grass field gives older kids room to run while littles do their thing on the equipment. It backs up close enough to forest and trails that wildlife sightings — bears, foxes, the occasional moose — are pretty common, so keep your eyes up.
