AppleStone

Applestone playground is one of our five favorites; this huge playground has about as many features as any other playground we have seen. Located in the Applewood community in the SE, this playground offers swings, ramps, slides, modern rope merry go round and some really cool musical toys to bang away on. Also worth mentioning this park also has picnic tables and some great trees providing shade. The majority of this playground is rubber chip footing, and has a really cool bouncy feel as you run around and play. If you venture out to this playground your kids will not be disappointed by the excitement this playground has to offer.

Deer Ridge

Deer Ridge playground is also one of our favorites mostly because of the wide range of activities this park offers. There is a tone of climbing apparatus for the advanced kids at play, as well as the staple of slides, monkey bars, swings and teeter-‐‐totter’s. This park is located in the SE community of Deer Run and should be on your list of must visit playgrounds if you are in the area. Unfortunately this playground does not have a lot of shade or tables for picnics, but it does not lack in the fun department.

Walden

The Walden playground makes our list because of some unique features and cleanliness of the playground. This playground is located in the SE community of Walden and is fairly new. The area around the playground sets up the fun of this location, little hills and valleys, and lots of trees make the park as much fun as the playground. This playground offers climbing apparatus for tots and big kids alike something important when you have a group of kids. This park features a unique spinning bowl, as well as slides, monkey bars and some cool balancing features. If you are in the neighborhood this is a must for you and the kids.

Cliff-‐‐Bung

The playground in Cliff-‐‐Bungalo is one of the nicest playgrounds we have come across. This playground is located in the SW community of Mission just out side the downtown core. The woodland theme is super fun and carried on throughout the whole park. The park has all the essentials of slides, climbing, swinging, and a great rubber flooring. This park is a great time and the theme drives the imagination of play. We will be going back to this park many times to enjoy the scenery and artistic playground.
