Campbell Community Playground

Good sight lines make a real difference when you’ve got little ones running in three directions at once, and this Traverse City spot actually delivers on that. The play structures work for a range of ages — toddlers included — and there’s genuinely inclusive equipment here, which isn’t something every park in the area can say. Pack a lunch because the picnic tables get solid use for a reason, and the restrooms are clean and open, which, honestly, bumps this place up a tier. There’s also a soccer field if your crew needs to burn off some extra energy after the playground. Locals keep it well-maintained and it shows.
