Fellows School Playground

Right next to some of the local churches on that side of Ames, Fellows School Playground gets steady use from neighborhood kids who don’t have much else within walking distance. It’s a solid school playground setup — nothing too flashy, but there’s room to run and the age range skews pretty wide, so younger kids and middle schoolers can both find something to do. The community vibe here is real; you’ll see families using it on weekends when school’s out, not just during recess.
