Parks with the best playgrounds for climbers
The 92-acre park features a jaw-dropping playground with impressive climbing structures and a giant, 35-foot-tall slide older kids will adore.
It also features six multi-purpose fields, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts and an "Enchanted Forest" with nine inclusive play villages for kids of multiple ages and abilities.
Your big kid has probably outgrown the kiddie boats, but a carousel, real train and boat rentals make this park an exciting destination for kids of all ages. Tickets are $2 per ride and can be purchased online. Even big kids will love exploring the bright red caboose in the playground area, which is also a fantastic photo opportunity.
If your child loves to explore, the Pullen Park playground features a large ropes climbing structure, and there are plenty of picnic areas for teenage hangouts and places to read on the grassy lawn that overlooks the park.
There is also a 40-yard dash with timer and synthetic turf surface. Looking for classic play? There is a play structure for ages 2-5 years and another for 5-12 years with tall slides older kids will love.
This park made the list for its natural climbing boulders, located near the playground behind the large shelter and bathrooms. There are no stepping stones here; climbers will have to figure out how to reach the top using just their hands and feet.
This is another Cary park kids will love for its massive climbing wall (this one does have stepping stones). There's also a rock garden for toddlers and much smaller climbers who may envy their older siblings. This park also has whirligigs, a splash pad, a dog park, a great playground and more.
A huge climbing structure with different climbing elements makes this a great place for climbers! The park also has a track for exercise (with great visibility of the playground), a splashpad, basketball courts and a large grassy field.
