Kayla’s Playground: Here’s What You’ll Find There (2023)

When we pulled up to Kayla’s Playground, I knew right away that it would make it on our list of 27 Must-Visit Playgrounds in Milwaukee.

It’s definitely one of the best playgrounds in the Milwaukee area.

It’s whimsical, colorful, and tons of fun.

You’ll pass through a colorful entrance sign to get into the playground. And, by the way, this is the only entrance and exit, so it’s relatively easy to keep track of your kids.

From the central path, you can turn right for a playground designed for ages 5-12, or left for a playground meant for younger children.

In the older children’s playground, you’ll find wide, fully-accessible ramps, a ground-level merry-go-round that wheelchairs can fit on, a special needs swings, two huge stainless steels slides (facing north to keep them cool), a rope climb, a wiggly balance beam, two-height monkey bars, a climbing wall and much more.

In the younger children’s area, you’ll find double swings (perfect for my two daughters!), fiber glass mini-slides, a kid’s city hall, police station, and firehouse, a caterpillar tunnel, a registered Little Free Library and more.

Everywhere you turn there is something interesting and colorful to look at. I love the tile mosaics!

The play surface is cushioned, and the building materials are splinter-free.You’ll also find plenty of shaded seating areas for supervising your kids or nursing.

Outside of the play area there are several picnic tables and three large, clean bathrooms equipped with changing tables.

I would like to emphatically praise the designers and supporters of this playground. What an amazing place for children of all abilities. (I’m honestly tearing up!)
