About
Munger View Park is a small neighborhood park on Balsam Lane in the southern portion of Jackson, managed by Teton County Parks and Recreation. With 24-hour access (unusual for parks), it's one of the more flexible options for families who need a quick outdoor play stop at any point during the day.
This is a genuine neighborhood park rather than a tourist amenity — modest facilities, playground equipment appropriate for young children, and the kind of local atmosphere that gives you a sense of Jackson as a community rather than just a destination. The limited review count (11 reviews) reflects its neighborhood character: locals know it, visitors rarely seek it out specifically, but those who do often appreciate the authenticity.
For families staying in south Jackson accommodations, Munger View Park is the most convenient free playground option. For others, it works as a quick stop between activities when kids need to run around for 30-45 minutes before continuing the day.
Best for children ages 1-10. No facilities beyond the playground itself — bring everything you need.
