Best Park for Toddlers

It’s rare to take my 2-year-old to a playground and feel like it was made for her. Playgrounds are often full of big kids, and the structures are just a bit too large to set a little one loose on. But at Smith Springs Community Center, on the south side of Percy Priest Lake, there’s a small section just for toddlers. The playground structure is a tiny, colorful house that looks like something straight out of Whoville, but with a slide on one side, a climbing ladder on the other and the cutest little benches inside. My daughter has a blast there, and I feel at ease letting her climb, jump and toddle around. AMANDA HAGGARD
