First Ward Park doesn’t have a traditional playground, but is still a great greenspace to go take your kids to play! There are small play places for kids to go play all around the greenspace. Monkey bars, a fountain, a large structure where kids can climb, and again, tons of greenspace to run around. There are also public restrooms, and it’s across the street from Imaginon!
