Lions Park Playground 2

If your kid has been begging for a zipline, this is the spot. Lions Park Playground 2 in Mount Jackson is the one locals point you toward specifically for that — it gets busy for good reason. The three-seater merry go round is a solid bonus, the kind of spinning ride that has kids lining up to jump on together. There’s also a rope climbing structure that keeps the 4-to-9 crowd genuinely occupied. Worth knowing: Lions Park has more than one playground, so make sure you’re heading to this one.
