Hazel Miller Playground at Ballinger Park, Mountlake Terrace
Do your kids love trains? Insects? Water? Climbing? They’ll find something to love at Ballinger Park’s Hazel Miller Universally Accessible Playground. Scale the ramps to get to the train-themed climber — pick up pretend tickets from the booth and don’t forget to toot the horn! After kids finish their railroad “journey” aboard the play train, they can slip down the cowcatcher and make their way to a pond-themed area. This play scene also features a cattail spinner and a self-propelled merry-go-round. Another aquatic-themed space hosts a swing bank with two belted seats and a friendship swing.
Find it: 23000 Lakeview Drive, Mountlake Terrace
