Chester Woods Playground

Right next to the swimming beach at Chester Woods, this playground makes it pretty easy to plan a full day out without having to pack up and drive somewhere else. The kids can bounce between the water and the play equipment, which honestly sells itself as a setup. It’s accessible too, so families don’t have to worry about anyone getting left out. Chester Woods as a whole is one of those underrated Olmsted County spots that locals know about but never seems overcrowded.
