Mike Miley Playground

Good shade, clean bathrooms, and a solid little play structure — Mike Miley checks the boxes that actually matter when you’ve got kids in tow. The slides, swings, and climbing equipment keep the 2-to-10 crowd busy, and the shade trees mean you’re not melting on a bench while they do it. There’s an open grass field right there too, so when the playground loses its appeal, they’ve got room to run. Picnic tables make it easy to stretch out a snack or a full lunch without fighting for a spot. For a neighborhood park in Metairie, it’s kept up well and worth the trip.
