Johnston Commons Playground Details
The Johnston Commons Playground is a super fun playground structure that offers many slides, climbing options, swings, and more. The playground is all-inclusive and is located on rubber footing. The kids (and husband) enjoyed this modern-day see-saw!
I thought this wagon was super cute. This portion of the playground was not complete yet, but we are excited to make another visit to check it out.
I love all the Iowa details including the climbable corn stalks and large wagon wheel the kids can climb on.
The playground is located directly behind the Johnston Public Library. It is also near a pond that is open to public fishing (get your fishing license) and the Simpson Barn.
The playground also offered interactive items to play music and hear farm noises!
