Sloan's Lake

"fun playdate spot in the city"

We often meet up here for playdates with friends.  It's definitely a city park without the bells and whistles of some of the suburb playgrounds.  But the views of downtown are amazing and the kids enjoy watching watersports on the lake.  There is a good covered picnic area at the south playground - the playground is fairly new and has a nice sidewalk circling it that my kids love to bring their scooters to.
