Playground

Ocean City’s playground scene is pretty solid, and this one holds up well — the fenced enclosure alone makes it worth the trip if you’ve got little ones who like to bolt. There’s enough going on between the climbing structure and swings to keep kids from 1 to 12 entertained without anyone fighting over the same piece of equipment. The basketball court is a nice touch for older kids who’ve burned through the playground stuff and need somewhere to channel the energy. It runs clean and spacious, which honestly isn’t a given at shore town parks during the summer.
