Cannon Beach Playground

Locals know this little spot is easy to walk past without noticing, which is honestly part of the charm. It’s right in the middle of town, just a short stroll from the beach, and perfect if you’ve got toddlers or preschoolers who need to burn off some energy mid-trip. There’s a tire swing, slides, and a solid climbing structure — nothing flashy, but the right size for the 2-6 crowd without feeling overwhelming. Shade trees and benches mean parents can actually sit down and exhale for a minute. Keep your eyes open too — people have spotted some interesting wildlife passing through, which the kids tend to love just as much as the playground itself.
