Panthers NFL Play60 course

If you’re looking for something a little different from your standard swing set situation, this one’s worth the drive. The Panthers-themed Play60 course in Spartanburg is built around a legit obstacle course setup — think ninja-warrior style challenges and a 40-yard dash that’ll humble most adults pretty quickly. Kids five and up get the most out of the obstacles, but honestly there’s enough open grass and trail access to keep everyone moving. It sits right off the rail trail with a bike track nearby, so you can easily make a full afternoon of it. Shade trees and picnic tables mean you don’t have to bail the second the sun gets serious.
