Taylor Farm Park Playground

That 35-foot slide is no joke — kids who’ve never climbed a day in their life figure out pretty fast that they want to get up there. The climbing structure is genuinely challenging enough to keep older kids busy while the little ones have their own space to mess around without getting trampled. The rubberized surface is a nice touch, especially if you’ve got a toddler who treats falling as a hobby. Throw in the shade from both the canopies and the trees, and parents can actually survive a summer afternoon here. The walking path along the pond makes it easy to drag everyone out for a lap or two before the next round of slides.
