Kathleen J. Steele Playground

If you’ve got little ones under eight, this spot in Crawfordsville is worth knowing about. The swing setup alone is genuinely impressive — you’ve got standard swings, baby swings, a handicap-accessible option, and a two-person swing, which you don’t see everywhere. There’s a climbing structure that keeps the older kids busy while toddlers have their own scaled-down playset nearby. Pack a lunch because the picnic tables make it easy to hang around, and there’s a basketball court if anyone needs to burn off extra energy.
