3rd Street Park Playground

If you’re downtown with a toddler and need somewhere to burn off energy fast, this little spot on 3rd Street does the job without any fuss. The climbing structure and slides keep the younger kids busy, and the swing set has inclusive seating, which is honestly something more playgrounds should prioritize. It’s compact — don’t expect to lose your kid in there — but that’s kind of the point for the 2-to-8 crowd. Grab one of the picnic tables and actually eat lunch outside for once.
