Wellsville Rd Playground

Locals know this one’s a solid pick for a low-key afternoon — shady trees keep things cool even in the Memphis heat, and the swings actually get used by kids of all ages. The picnic tables and benches are well-maintained, which isn’t always a given around here. It’s a quiet neighborhood spot, so don’t expect a crowd, and that open grass field gives kids room to just run. Restrooms on site is a bigger deal than people think when you’ve got little ones. If you’ve got a dog too, there’s a dog park nearby, so the whole family’s covered.
