The biggest park upcounty: the Adventure Playground is a large castle-themed wooden playground with its own toddler section; in summer the Splash Playground next door charges per person ($), and there's mini golf and a driving range too, more than a day's worth.

💡 Tips
The Splash Playground runs Memorial Day to Labor Day with separate admission (about $5–8 per person, check the website), so bring swimsuits and towels. The playground is free and open year-round. Busy at midday on weekends but there's enough parking.
