Kherson Park, Kent
Tell your kids to locate their space helmets for this playground. While the word gets applied too casually, Kent’s Kherson Park is truly unique. Paying tribute to local Boeing engineers who built lunar rover vehicles in the 1960s, the play equipment here will make anyone’s eyes go wide. Hop in the lunar lander to arrive on the moon, then drive the life-size lunar rover to explore the terrain. Kids will love all the switches and buttons here that give an extra boost to imaginary play.
