Julius M. Kleiner Park
Parent notes
The strongest all-round pick in Meridian for little kids: tot lots and bucket swings next to a structure built for two- to five-year-olds, a splash pad, and stocked ponds with a dock built for wheelchair access. Nine parking areas and five shelters mean it absorbs a crowd, and the bandshell carries summer concerts.
