Preston’s Hope playground is amazing. We were in that area about a month ago and stopped to check it out. Unfortunately it was too cold to play, but I got some great pictures. I’m playing to do a write up about it to let others know about it and what to expect. It’s huge and has a ton of options for kids. I’ll publish the write up the first week of June. For now, you can see some pictures on their website: http://www.prestonshope.com/
