PK’s Place Playground

If you haven’t taken your kids to PK’s Place yet, you’re missing one of the better playgrounds Saint Paul has to offer. The zipline alone makes it worth the trip — kids aged 3 to 12 will fight over who goes next. There’s a tall slide and plenty of swings too, all set within an enclosed play area so younger ones aren’t bolting into the street while you’re not looking. The soft surface underfoot is a nice touch, and the shaded seating means you can actually sit there comfortably instead of hovering the whole time. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that locals genuinely feel lucky to have close by.
