John Jack Cunningham Playground

The splash pad here is a legit lifesaver on a hot Augusta summer day — kids go absolutely feral for the mushroom sprinkler, and honestly, watching them is half the fun. It’s a solid neighborhood spot for the 2-12 crowd, with enough going on that older kids can shoot hoops on the basketball court while the little ones cool off. There’s a pond nearby that adds a nice backdrop, and the whole place is kept up well, which isn’t always a given with city parks. Locals know this one.
