Sandy’s Place

If your kid is over the monkey bar-and-slide routine, this spot in Hermitage is worth knowing about. The climbing structure here leans more obstacle course than typical playground — think logs, rocks, and slack lines that actually make kids work for it. It’s the kind of setup that keeps the 5-to-14 crowd genuinely busy, not just going through the motions. Parents get shaded benches to hang out on, which honestly makes a big difference on a warm afternoon. A little different from your standard park, in the best way.
