City Center Park
@jessicahuffman
This hidden gem is accessible through a neighborhood and has no parking lot. Just park legally on the street. From Hinesburg Road, turn north onto Barrett Street, and go about half a mile, on your right, you'll find the "main entrance" with a kiosk sign.
One of the coolest playgrounds in all of Burlington with its natural theme and unique play structures.
