Once the warm weather hits, outdoor activities become a high priority. And for parents with little ones, finding new and exciting playgrounds for your kiddos to explore is a must. Playgrounds are the perfect places for kids to unleash some energy and let their imaginations go wild. Plus, parents can relax and enjoy the fresh air too.

Our region is bursting with obstacles to climb up, slides to race down, and swings to swing on, which means your kids will be entertained for hours. So gear up for a day in the sun and head to one of these playgrounds —you won’t be disappointed!
