Heron Park, Mill Creek
The play elements of Heron Park’s new nature-themed playground mimic its surroundings. Play equipment is in shades of green and brown, with tall trees and a heron or two to be spotted by sharp-eyed kids. The merry-go-round here lets kids propel themselves with a center steering wheel. Older kids who like climbing will find lots to scale.
This smaller playground caters to Mill Creek families and those from surrounding areas.
