Spring is coming to Wisconsin and the Midwest. That means melting snow and muck and mud. It also means the little ones want to get out and play. Playgrounds and parks with rubber ground are the best places to visit in the spring to avoid a muddy mess while letting the toddlers and preschoolers get their wiggles and energy out!
We’ve compiled our top 9 playgrounds and parks with rubber ground in the Lake Country and Waukesha County area for your to explore, hopefully mess-free! Have one to add? Let us know in the comment section or join the conversation HERE on Facebook and Instagram.
