    Fairgrounds Park has a Splash Pad, Extra Playground and More!

    I was blown away on our visit to Fairgrounds Park this summer! I knew that it had a splash pad, but I had no idea that we’d find playgrounds, a fitness zone, batting cages…the list goes on and on as you’ll see below.

    Volley Park, a “Hidden Gem” Playground in Brighton!

    One reason I love what I do is that I can share unknown parks that you wouldn’t find otherwise! Volley Park is one of those hidden gems. It is located in the Brighton Crossings neighborhood, however, if you look for it on a map or through a search engine, it practically doesn’t exist! I’m sharing it here because I took my kids, and some extra playground testers ;), and we had a great time. Did I mention it has a scavenger hunt?!

The large play structure and zipline are thrilling, the playhouse brings out imagination and role play, and the additional elements will provide a favorite spot for all to enjoy.
