Panhandle Playground

If you’ve got a toddler or a kindergartner in tow, this spot in the Panhandle is honestly one of the better-kept secrets in the neighborhood. The enclosed setup means kids aren’t wandering off, and the sightlines are good enough that you can actually sit down for five minutes without craning your neck. Equipment got a solid upgrade not too long ago, so it doesn’t feel like the city forgot about it. The shade trees help a lot on warmer days, and being right on the edge of the Panhandle greenway gives it that almost-in-the-woods feel without leaving the city.
