We are lucky in Powell to have so many great playgrounds and parks to explore. From swings to slides, to climbing walls and water features, Powell’s parks and playgrounds keep my kids active, are a great place to meet old friends (and make new! friends), and they're FREE!

I often get asked what our favorite playgrounds are, so I thought I'd share here with you my family's picks for our top five playgrounds and parks to visit in Powell.
Locations are listed alphabetically:
Adventure Park
260 Adventure Park Drive
What we love about Adventure Park:
Honestly, this is probably our favorite park in the Powell area. It’s not huge But it is a lot of fun! My youngest loves the sand area. My 8-year-old loves that there is a tunnel underground! We also love that when you are walking around the path and there are signs with games and activities to help you get active and have fun as a family!
Amenities at Adventure Park:
- Basketball court
- Shelter house
- Skate park
- Picnic tables
- Two play structures
- Restrooms
- Little library
