Playgrounds

Playground Tour

Do you want to spend time with some of the younger set without emptying your wallet? Are you part of a wedding or family reunion group with bored children under foot? Load up the kids and head out on a tour of the Teller County playgrounds. This tour will take you on a 30 mile out and back trek by 5 playgrounds and parks. The children will enjoy a variety of playground equipment to climb, slide, run around and burn up extra energy. End your outing with a stop at a local treat shop or with lunch. Plan ahead and pack a picnic to add to the fun and reduce the expense.
