Do you have a favorite we’ve overlooked…

Kids Kastle Highland Village

Just north of 407 on Briarhill, Highland VillageKids Kastle is an extensive wooden playscape that was constructed by volunteers. It includes lots of “secret” stairways and cubbies, along with bridges, climbing nets, a zip line, swings, and much more! The wooden play area only has one entrance, which makes it easy to let your kids explore. A conventional play area is also located just outside the wooden playscape. The complex also includes a pond with ducks, fish, and turtles, a covered picnic pavilion with tables and barbecue grills, a fitness exercise system, and a sand volleyball court. There are restrooms and drinking fountains located across an open field. The pavilion is available on a first-come/first-serve basis but can also be reserved through the Parks and Recreation office. The pavilion is a great place to hold a birthday party.
