Pounce on a sun break or suit up and bring a towel: You know what to do. A new-to-you playground is free and sure to entertain — and hopefully tire out — your energetic crew. Check out these great options:
- We rounded up all of the best new playgrounds that opened in 2023. Pick out a few and make a new play route!
- Four of our region’s extra enormous parks offer so many different ways to explore: Frolic on the playground, wander the trails, visit the beach and more. In other words, stay and play all day.
- Among terrific accessible playgrounds around town, Bellevue Downtown Park’s Inspiration Playground stands out as a must-visit for families from anywhere.
- We’re still in the thick of the PNW “Big Dark” season with the sun setting around 5 p.m., but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end at sunset. Check out these amazing lighted playgrounds that keep you playing all night (or at least until bedtime).
- This newer Eastside playground features totally unique play structures; another ultra-fun Eastside park is a long-time favorite due to its inspiring imaginative play.
