Playgrounds are lovely places for fun times and imaginations to run rampant whether you’re an adult or a child (however it’s probably a bit more acceptable for children to behave in such a way, but who are we to judge?). Outer Banks playgrounds can be found in town parks, recreational parks, gyms and even some museums. Some of the playgrounds in parks are also pet-friendly, so you and Fido can watch your little ones pretend to command a pirate ship as they climb over ropes, cross monkey bars, bury treasure in the sand and zoom down slides. At recreational parks you can enjoy a pick up game of basketball while the younger members of your crew amuse themselves at the playground. Going to interactive museums can turn a simple trip to a playground into an educational experience that will a blast for both you and your children. Check out the listing below to find Outer Banks playgrounds near you.
