Playground Hopping
Situated less than a mile from the intersection of Colorado and Evans (Fillmore borders the park to the west, Milwaukee on it's east, Evans on it's north), this park is small yet a gem for sure! I especially love it for several reasons: one of two climbers there is specifically for ages 2-5, there is lots of shade from numerous trees, it is unique compared to most of the other playgrounds in the area and there are also tons of (donated?) random toys around. At first I thought the toys all around were a bit odd and didn't know if they belonged to one person specifically, but once I realized they are just a part of the park my little one loved playing with them! There were trucks for using in the dirt and tons of ride-on/push toys that you just can't explore leisurely anywhere else. And although pavement isn't always the friendliest ground for little knees, rarely does my little get the opportunity to cruise around on such smooth ground while pushing toys, which he clearly enjoyed.

| The climber that is labeled as being for ages 2-5. Lots of things to manipulate and explore. |
