If you’re like us, you love to take the kids to a playground. They have fun, get exercise and meet new friends. We get to have some priceless moments. Sometimes, we even meet some new friends too.

Trouble is it’s not easy to find new playgrounds to go to. Where are the good ones? We’ve all heard of a playground, “right around the corner,” that we missed in the past.

Some kids like a very athletic jungle gym or they get bored; some like an easier paced play set. Some kids don’t like very crowded play areas, while others love to be surrounded by many of their peers.

Currently we have two great articles on the value of both older and younger people getting outside and enjoying Playground Fun:

• Get Back On the Playground!
• The Importance of Recess and Playground Exercise

Share your favorite playground with your friends in our Destinations Section. Find new ones. Please, tell us what you think about them in our community section.
