Plan ahead your weekends to check out these 5 Ohio Playgrounds that are worth the drive!
Goebel Park Playground
Covington, KY
This brand-new playground features slides, swings, climbing structures and gorgeous views of the Cincinnati skyline. This park is best-known for its goats, which roam the hills behind the Carillon tower.
Millstone Creek Park
Millstone Creek Park
Westerville, OH
Located just outside of Columbus, this playground is worth the drive. A mix of natural, traditional and futuristic elements make this playground truly one-of-a-kind. One side contains a colorful playground built on a rubberized surface. There are interactive, electronic games, musical instruments, and tons of spinning, slide-able and climbable structures. The other side is inspired by nature, with plants, slides, a stream, water pump and sandy area all mixed together.
Smale Riverfront Park
Downtown Cincinnati
Located downtown, this park has it all: spraygrounds, playgrounds, larger-than-life games and musical instruments and even a flying pig. With lots of greenspace to enjoy a picnic, access to riverfront sidewalks and the Purple People Bridge and an indoor carousel, you can easily make a day out of this Cincinnati Park.
Washington Park Playground
Washington Park, Cincinatti
Cincinnati, OH
What can we say — we adore this playground. Its features include a play castle, climbing wall, sandbox, dual slides, a canal boat in a stream and musical instruments – all creatively integrated into a safe and imaginative play environment for children of all ages. The play area is programmed with free activities for all families to enjoy — like craft-filled Saturdays and family movie nights in the summer.
Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark
Dayton, OH
This Dayton MetroPark has a Children’s Garden unrivaled by any other, featuring lots of sensory play areas, different animal habitats and even a learning garden where kids can get hands-on experience. We especially love the musical garden (which features large, outdoor musical instruments) and the sandbox (because what kid doesn’t love a sandbox?)
