Palega Recreation Center Playground

Picnic tables by the dozen and ducks to watch on McNab Lake, with a playground, courts, a soccer pitch and two ball fields; dogs welcome.

Built for the under-six crowd, so bigger kids run out of things to do fast; it isn't set up for wheelchairs.

A big fenced playground with towers, climbing routes and a long tube slide. The rec center and bathrooms are up the hill.

A fenced playground with a sandbox beside a wide practice area where generations of neighborhood kids have learned to ride bikes.

Colorful slides, swings and climbing ropes sit on top of a hill with picnic areas and one of the better views around.
