Part of me doesn’t want to tell anyone about this fantastic Swiss Family style treehouse playground, dual soccer fields (for getting preschooler energy out we have races up and down and up and down the field — try it! They sleep harder, though not necessarily longer . . .) on either side of the hill on which the playgrounds stand, walking track, and terrific pavillion. There is a playground for younger children and one for older children which is conveniently large enough for grown-ups to enjoy with their kiddos, which makes it a lot more fun, and also easier to retrieve them when it’s time to go home. The best part is perhaps that the playground is in the shade, making long visits better.

Part of me doesn’t want to tell anyone about it because the potential for a crowded playground is greater when more people know about it. But the place is so great that I just can’t be selfish about it. Note: the photo on the site was taken when the park was still under construction and in no way depicts the terrific-ness of the place.
