Outdoor Play Aiken

When the weather is warm and it’s a nice day outside, nothing beats playing outside! We have been all over the CSRA to provide you with an exhaustive list of playgrounds, green spaces, walking trails and splash areas. So load up the kids and grab a blanket, and let the kids burn off that energy!

We would love to hear from you!
