Jack Day Kiddie Park

This little park in Stem punches above its weight for such a small town. The fenced play area means you’re not constantly chasing toddlers, and there’s enough going on — slides, swings, a climbing structure — to keep kids from 1 to 12 actually occupied. Shaded seating, picnic tables, and a BBQ area make it easy to stretch a visit into a full afternoon without anyone melting down. The grass field gives older kids room to run while the younger ones stick closer to the equipment. Locals keep it clean, and it shows.
