Wescott Park Playground

Locals know to head here when the summer heat hits because that splash pad across the street is a serious game-changer. The climbing structure and slides keep the kids busy, and the shade trees actually do their job — you’re not just baking on a bench while you wait. Pack a lunch, because the picnic tables and covered seating make it worth sticking around for a few hours. There’s a baseball field right next door too, so if you’ve got older kids with different interests, everyone ends up happy.
