Here in Raleigh, NC, we have a park that opened a few years ago on the site of a former mental hospital. Dix Park has been an impressive undertaking, though I'm sorry to say I've never been there. The latest edition to the park is the sure-to-be-popular [Gipson Play Plaza](https://dixpark.org/gipsonplayplaza?ref=helpful-koala.pikapod.net), which opens this weekend.

This new ginormous playground looks like a kid's dream. Featuring several different sections such as Sensory Maze, Slide Valley and Watermill Mountain, the park spreads out over 18 acres (!!!). It makes me wish my sons were back to playground age and we were headed there today.
