John Mucklo Playground expansion

The pirate ship design alone is worth the trip — kids go absolutely nuts for it, and honestly it holds up. You’ve got slides, swings, a solid climbing structure, and a zipline that the older kids will actually use instead of just standing around looking bored. The layout is generous enough that you’re not constantly hovering to avoid collisions, which parents around here really appreciate. After they’ve burned some energy, the walking path takes you right toward the pond and into the tree line, so it doubles as a decent nature outing. Pack a lunch — there are picnic tables, parking is easy, and you can genuinely make an afternoon of it.
