Jaycee Park
S Ocean Drive and Melaleuca Drive,
Fort Pierce, FL 34947
This playground was renovated and reopened in January 2023. It is filled with fun equipment, such as zip line swings and a pirate ship! There are separate playground areas for toddlers and school-aged kids, which is always a bonus in my book. One of the best parts of this park is the little lagoon beach perfect for young kids since it has no big waves and is shallow. The downside of this park is the lack of shade, so be careful touching the equipment during hot days.

Sportsman's Park
201 NW Prima Vista Blvd

The star of this playground is the large climbing dome! There are sections with equipment for both toddlers and bigger kids, which is always great. Additionally, there is an outdoor Bluetooth compatible fitness area with stationary bikes, ellipticals, and more right next to the playground. This park also has a baseball field, basketball court, pavilions, pickleball court, softball field, and tennis court. The not-so-great news about this park?
