Pullen is a wonderful playground and park with both free and paid activities.

Pullen Park is fantastic and an incredible place with playgrounds for bigger and little kids, tons of swings, a sand/beach play area, old trains for kiddos to explore and walking paths.

This beautiful park area also has pay rides which include a train, paddle boats, an indoor carousel and a smaller boat ride for kids under 5. 

We loved the calming music, gorgeous greenery, large old trees and beautiful covered picnic areas. Additionally,
it’s always nice to have a beautiful space to cruise around with kiddos in a stroller or safe spaces for scootering. 

There are restrooms with changing tables onsite and food is available for purchase at the concession stand near the entrance.
