Mercerdale Park
The new playground at Mercer Island’s Mercerdale Park is sure to attract train fans from far and wide. The centerpiece here is the Mercer Island Express train, complete with tracks painted along the cushy rubber surfacing. We are totally on board for one-of-a-kind custom playground equipment like this.
But there is lots more to see at this beloved spot, known as Train Park. Expansive connected play elements invite kids to travel with pathways, bridges, ladders, platforms and slides. At the perimeter of all this, kids will find swings, musical elements and an exciting cargo-net cone spinner. This is another new playground earning stay-for-hours status. Plan accordingly!
