Playground | Lake Cunningham

Lake Cunningham is one of those parks where you can actually spread out without feeling like you’re on top of another family’s picnic. The grilling spots fill up fast on weekends, so get there early if you’re planning a cookout — and yes, there’s parking, but you’ll pay for it. Walking trails loop around the lake, which makes it worth the trip even if you’re just showing up solo for a casual walk. It’s a solid pick for bigger family gatherings where you need real space, not just a patch of grass between two other groups.
