Rise at The Retreat Playground

Tucked into The Retreat apartment complex in Tempe, this little playground is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — a no-frills spot with slides that the toddler and preschool crowd genuinely love. It’s small, which honestly works in its favor for that age group since there’s not much to wander off to. If you live in the complex, it’s a solid grab-and-go option when the kids need to burn some energy without loading everyone into the car.
