Central Riverside Park Playground

Right in the middle of one of Wichita’s oldest and most-loved parks, this playground gets a lot of foot traffic for good reason — Central Riverside is the kind of place families have been coming to for generations. The park itself does a lot of the heavy lifting, with the Arkansas River nearby and plenty of green space to stretch out after the kids burn off some energy. It’s a solid spot if you’re already spending time in the area and need somewhere for the little ones to run around.
