North Park playground

Locals with kids in Provo know North Park gets the job done without any fuss. The climbing structure, slides, and swings keep kids from 2 to 12 busy long enough for parents to actually sit down and breathe — there are benches and picnic tables for exactly that. Shade trees make summer visits way more bearable, and the open grass field is great when someone needs to burn off extra energy away from the equipment. Parking is easy, the walking path loops things together nicely, and the whole setup means you can keep an eye on your kids without constantly chasing them around.
