Outdoor places to take Kids in the Rogue Valley

I’ve put together a big list of where to take kids to play outdoors in the Rogue Valley. If you dress the kids for the weather, children can play outside year round in Southern Oregon. We are lucky to have a big variety of outdoor places to go with our kids in the Rogue Valley. And the best part is that most of the spots on my list are free places to take the kids to play outdoors.
