Ward Street Playground

Pretty bare-bones spot, but honestly that’s fine for what it is — a place to let the kids run around without driving across town. It’s right near Falconer Park, so you can easily make an afternoon of it if you need to burn some serious energy. Marlin’s a small town, and this playground has that low-key neighborhood feel where you actually recognize the other parents. Don’t expect a lot of bells and whistles, but it gets the job done.
