Playground Ratings

Larkspur Park

I am rating playgrounds on a three tier system.

Each playground blog entry includes a brief description and a list of available play equipment.

Top tier playgrounds are worth a drive from anywhere in Central Oregon.  There are only a few, but I welcome your nominations.

• Farewell Bend Park (Bend)
• Larkspur Park (Bend)
• Ochoco Creek Park (Prineville)
• Harmon Park (Bend)

• 

  Boyd Park

• West Canyon Rim Park (Redmond)
• Compass Park (Bend)
• Columbia Park (Bend)

Middle tier playgrounds have average sized playgrounds.  They are good to know about because kids like the variety.

The lowest tier is the neighborhood park. These are fine if you're in the neighborhood, but they won't draw a lot of visitors from elsewhere.
