Otumba Park Playground

Right next to one of the better public beaches in Sturgeon Bay, this playground pulls double duty as a solid half-day destination. The musical equipment is a genuine hit with younger kids — don’t be surprised if you can’t drag them away from it. Play areas are broken out by age, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a toddler and an older kid in tow, and the soft surface underfoot is the kind of thing parents notice and appreciate. Pack a lunch, grab a picnic table, and let them run the open grass field before you head down to the water.
