Filing this one away for peak fall. 🥹🍁

The North Loop playground sits right on the Mississippi, looking across to Nicollet Island and Boom Island, under a canopy of giant maples.

➡️ Right now they’re still green. Give it a few weeks and the whole thing turns bright yellow, red, and orange.🔴🟠🟡 Early to mid October is when it peaks. 🍁

🛝 There’s also one of our favorite toddler playgrounds tucked in there, plus a bigger playground for the older kids.
