Canyon Park — Attraction in Washington

Welcome to the ultimate Dad Olympics training ground! This playground is not just for the little ones; it's a battlefield for dads to showcase their 'athletic prowess.'

First up, the Ninja Warrior obstacle course. Watch as grown men attempt to swing, jump, and balance their way through with the grace of a... well, not a ninja, let's say. It's like a hilarious audition for a new reality show: 'Ninja Warriors: Dad Edition.'

Then there are the slides – two towering giants that make you question your life choices as you climb to the top. Who knew conquering a playground could feel so much like climbing Mount Everest?

The only down side is that on busy days the parking lot is too small and the line for the ninja...

But the other elements beyond the competitive areas were just as fun. The four slides were super long and steep, the big cargo nets challenging enough, and there was plenty for my kids to do, from the 3 year old to the 11 year old. It was great to have them run around and WANT to run around, and not asking for an electronic device. We stayed there for several hours a they were still sad when it got dark and we had to leave. A definite strong recommendation for anyone who wants their kids to get...
