Resorts with great playgrounds/outdoor play areas?

[2019TripIdeas]

Hello!
We're staying at Boardwalk Inn. Relatives will be babysitting my kids for a few of the days of the trip and asked if there are any fun playgrounds/ play areas (not splash pads) that they could bring the kids to check out, as they will not be going into the parks on those days. They may take the kids to the pool at the Boardwalk if we happen to get lucky on the weather, but looking for some alternative things to do.

We already have plans for them to take the kids to brunch at 1900 Park Fare, and I know they plan to make a trip up to Disney Springs for lego store, etc with the kids. They also plan to take the kids on the Skyliner to go check out Art of Animation, which I'm sure the kids will enjoy. I'd heard the stables at Ft. Wilderness could be fun to check out too.

Also, I'm assuming it's fine to use other resorts playgrounds? I know pool hopping is a no-go.

There is a playground right at the Boardwalk Inn. There is also one on the beach at the Swan/Dolphin (right next door to the Boardwalk) and they don't check to see if you are a guest if you go play there. At the Swan/Dolphin, they could also go on a swan boat ride (there is a cost involved) or walk across the street and play mini-golf at Fantasia. At the Boardwalk, they could rent a Surrey bike. Ft. W also has a really nice playground and Caribbean Beach Resort has a playground if they want to make a stop there on the Skyliner.

^Thanks so much! We have relatives also staying over at the Swan so we'll for sure check out their playground. I think they'll have plenty to do to fill their days but this is good to know!

Is there a playground at Art of Animation as well?

Our kids saw the playground at Boardwalk while we were on the boat to DHS. I think they would have preferred to stop there instead of going to the parks. They really enjoyed the kids playground at the Swan/Dolphin.

If you are heading to Fort Wilderness they do have a playground there too.

You could also rent the a boat and go around the lake?

Every resort has some type of playground.

How old are the kids?

They have a nice playground at the Rivera, which is just a short Skyliner ride away from the Boardwalk resort area. There are several outdoor games for kids there.

How old are the kids?

Kids are 5, 3 and 2.5. The little guy is pretty adept at keeping up with his siblings, so we don't necessarily need play areas that are toddler-specific.

For what it's worth, I've tried looking this stuff up on YouTube and for having SO many videos out there about resorts etc, I didn't see much coverage of playground areas.

For those mentioning the Boardwalk playground, are you referencing the one that's right off the side of the pool with the clown slide? Or is there a separate area I'm not seeing.
