Bayview Playground, Magnolia

Don't let the name fool you, there is no view of any bay. This is just a sad little playground forgotten in a quiet corner of Magnolia.

Location: 24th Ave W & W Armour St. in Magnolia
Number of swings: 2 regular, 2 baby
Ground material: Sand
Chain length: Short


The seats are high off the ground to better facilitate the occasional long-legged adult swinger. However, this was also the first park I've come across with stickers attached to the playground equipment reading "This play equipment is designed for children 5-12 years old." Oops, missed that memo. This is a sad, small playground, but you can get some good swinging in, even if you're over the age of 12.

How to get there: #31 and 33 bus routes stop along 22nd Ave W.
