Sylvan Point Playground

If you’re passing through Escanaba on the highway and need to burn off some kid energy, this little spot is worth pulling over for. It’s a quiet neighborhood playground — nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point. There’s a solid mix of older and newer equipment, and the classic covered slide is genuinely the star of the show for the 2-to-8 crowd. Don’t be surprised if a jet flies low overhead while you’re there, which honestly makes it more memorable than most stops along the route.
