North Park

The zipline alone makes this one of the more exciting playgrounds in the area — kids actually line up for it, which tells you something. After the recent renovations, North Park has become the kind of place where you can spend a whole Saturday without running out of things to do, whether that’s the climbing structure, the bike track, or just kicking a ball around on the open grass field. Shade trees and covered seating mean you’re not baking in the sun while you watch the little ones, and the restrooms are actually decent now. Walkers, ballers, cyclists, families with toddlers — this park genuinely works for all of them, and the events they host here through the warmer months keep bringing people back.
