Marymoor Park Playground

If you’ve got a kid past the toddler stage, this Redmond staple finally feels like it was built with them in mind. The recent renovation made a real difference — it’s clearly designed for the 5-and-up crowd rather than just being a generic playground slapped into a big park. You’ve got plenty of open grass, a soccer field nearby, and walking paths if the adults need to burn off some energy too. Parking is genuinely easy here, which, if you’ve dealt with Marymoor on a summer weekend, you know that’s saying something. Pack a lunch and grab a picnic table — there’s room to actually spread out.
