Centennial Park in Ankeny, Iowa
Centennial Park is my kids’ favorite park in Ankeny. This playground offers two different play structures for ages 5-12 that invite kids to climb. My monkey bar-loving child loves the larger playground. This playground always seems to invite my kids into a game of tag with other kids at the playground too. This playground features standard swings, infant swings, and a beloved friendship swing that my kids cannot get enough of.
There is a smaller playground structure for 2-5, which is great for those little toddlers who are becoming a bit more independent.
