Park it

We aim to bring you the scoop and our region’s new and innovative playgrounds. Have you checked them out? Summer’s when you might have a little more time, so pick one that looks fun and go!

Try the TriRunner at the fab updated playground at Emma Yule Park. Tip: It’s a unique piece of play equipment your kids will love.

This newer playground is made in the shade. It’s perfect on a hot-hot summer day.

There is so much fun on the farm to be found at the Edgewood Community Park’s newer playground.

The life-size Chutes-and-Ladders-style game at Kent’s West Fenwick Park makes it a not-to-be-missed destination playground.

Adventurous climbers will love the pyramid tower at the playground at Renton’s Sunset Neighborhood Park. Be forewarned, if you or your child are afraid of heights — or your child is not afraid enough of heights — this park may set your nerves buzzing.

Next adventure: sleep outside
