Cross Keys Playground

If you’re passing through New Oxford, this little spot is worth a stop just for the dinosaur. The themed design gives it way more personality than your average municipal playground — someone clearly put actual thought into this one. The slides are the main draw for the kids, and the whole place is kept pretty tidy, which you don’t always see with smaller community parks. It’s not massive, but the concept alone makes it stand out from the cookie-cutter setups you find everywhere else around here. Definitely has room to grow, but what’s there already shows some real promise.
