Herz Playground feels like a hidden gem that no one talks about, that the city doesn’t get credit for. The grounds are super clean and new, but the play structures are very unique - funnel themed?- and skewed slightly towards older kids. To be clear, kids of all ages will enjoy these grounds but the two play structures are sure to challenge bigger kiddos for long periods of time. I would absolutely make it a trip out here and take my kiddos to see this unique playground. Parking is easy, and you’re sure to see other kids.
