Chestnut Ridge Park
The central climbing tower at the new Chestnut Ridge Park playground is designed for kids ages 5–12. But don’t try to keep your determined preschoolers away. Ascending through the platform levels to the top of the tower and descending the double slide is too much fun to miss for the littler guys.
In addition to the tower, cone spinner and rope bridge, the neighborhood spot in Kent features a terrific valley view. Add to that some climbable artwork and a large covered picnic shelter, and you’ve got the recipe for a sweet play stop when you’re in Kent.
Next stop: Hawks Landing
