Playground

If you grew up in South Bend, you know how rare it is to find a playground that still has an actual merry-go-round — this one’s got that plus some solid slides that the kids genuinely lose their minds over. The updated playset keeps things interesting for a pretty wide age range, so younger toddlers and older kids can both find something worth doing. Restrooms are available during the day, which honestly makes or breaks a park trip when you’ve got little ones. Pack a lunch too — the shaded picnic area is a good spot to decompress while the kids wear themselves out.
