Playgrounds in Phoenix

Bookmark and Share

1) Outdoors

Chances are that at almost any playground you will find some kids for your child to play with and parents for you to chat with. You can take some food with you and have sort of a picnic or just let the kids run around and get some much needed rest .

Overall, there are hundreds of public parks with playgrounds in the Valley. You can find a playground near you at your city/town department of parks and recreation websites.

In addition, almost every elementary and middle school in the area has a playground or two that may be open for the public after school hours and on weekends.
