Depot Park Playground

All aboard for the super-cool new playground at Lacey’s Depot Park! The Depot District is a multi-phase project by the city of Lacey designed to serve local residents with a depot building replica, community gathering space, future museum and, of course, the awesome train-themed playground. Kids can climb aboard the locomotive, imagine they’re chugging down the line, and jump and run from car to car. A clock tower ensures all riders board the train on time. Classics like hanging rings, a climbing wall and a slide complement the train structure.

And this playground has a bonus: a food truck rotation! Follow Lacey Food Truck Depot on Facebook to see who will be there serving up dinner. (Genius)
