Maddie’s Park

If you live in Stanton, you probably already know about Maddie’s Park — and if you don’t, fix that. The wheelchair swing is a genuine standout, making this one of the more thoughtfully set-up spots for kids of all abilities in the area. Pack a lunch and claim one of the picnic tables, because this is absolutely a stay-a-while kind of place. The real bonus is the rails-to-trails path right next to it, so you can let the toddlers burn energy on the swings and then take the older kids out on the bike track without ever moving the car.
