Around the World Playground

The around-the-world theme gives this Shaker Heights spot a little more personality than your average playground — kids seem to genuinely get into it. Parents will appreciate how well the layout works for actually watching your kids without craning your neck the whole time. The benches are well-placed too, which sounds minor until you’ve spent an hour standing at a playground with nowhere to sit. Good for a range of ages, so if you’ve got a mix of little ones and older kids, everyone finds something to do.
