While you wouldn’t typically think to look for a playground under a bridge, the 1000 Hands Every Child’s Playground at Sawyer Point is one playground you don’t want to miss. Located under the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, this steamboat-themed playground is not only great for kids of all ages, but was designed for kids of all abilities.
Please note: This playground burned to the ground on November 1, 2024. There is hope that the playground will be rebuilt nearby, but nothing official has been announced yet. I will update once more information is available.
