It's summer and that means we are hitting the parks. That also means we don't want to hit the same parks all summer long. We have compiled a list of our 5 favorite parks. We compiled this list based on the following criteria; big and little kids equipment, locations in each area of the city, open spaces and the ability to accomodate groups and picnics. Check in all summer as we continue to review local attractions.

• Play areas for both younger and older children
• An amazing fountain on site for kids to splash
