The park is different from most playgrounds. It’s full of unique and colorful creations like this. Adults might see a pile of tires, but children see a magical mountain waiting to be explored.

Enter the enchanting Hobbitville with little hobbit houses and an impressive tree house. Indoors, there’s a caterpillar cottage for reading stories and a dress-up room where kids can choose from a huge wardrobe put on their own plays.
There is an admission fee to enter The Children’s Garden, but because this is a non-profit organization, you can feel good about paying to play.
