Settlers Park
Parent notes
The city calls this playground universally accessible and backs it up with ramps onto the main structure plus a separate castle sized for two- to five-year-olds. The splash pad is deliberately mild, using ground-level jets rather than the tipping buckets that startle younger kids. Ballfields and courts fill with league play on summer evenings, so mornings are the calmer window with a toddler.
