Millrace Park Playground

If you’ve got kids under 7, this spot in Taylorsville is worth knowing about. The shade situation here is genuinely good — big trees and covered seating that actually make a summer afternoon bearable. There’s a bike track and walking path for the older siblings or parents who need to burn some energy, plus a wide open grass field that works great for a pickup game or just letting toddlers run. Pack a lunch because the picnic setup is solid, and with restrooms on-site you’re not rushing out the door. The pond nearby gives it a nice little backdrop too.
