Kids Canyon Playground

If you’ve got kids anywhere from toddler age up to around 12, this Rochester spot is genuinely worth the drive. The fenced perimeter is a lifesaver — little runners can’t bolt, which makes it way less stressful than your average open park. Beyond the usual slides and swings, there’s a solid climbing structure and a water feature that kids absolutely lose their minds over on a hot day. It’s not your standard cookie-cutter setup, and someone clearly keeps it clean, which you don’t always see. Bring a change of clothes for the water play area — trust me, you’ll need it.
