Wacky World at Wills Park

Thursday, August 8, 2013

With summer coming to a close and children going back to school there is a lot less free time for families around Atlanta to play outside. That being said, there are thousands of local playgrounds all over the metro area for those with a little bit of time and looking for a whole lot of fun. Wacky World at Wills Park in Alpharetta is just one choice for letting kids’ imaginations to run wild. The largest of three playgrounds at the park, Wacky World is made almost entirely of wood and looks like an expansive castle. Towers rise in the air, bridges connect the towers and there are many places to play hide and seek or tag. There are also monkey bars, slides and swings.
