Augusta's summer heat sits heavier than Atlanta's, trapped in the river valley, which makes a low-key playground where you're not fighting crowds for a shaded corner worth its weight. The older central neighborhoods have mature pecan and oak canopy that shields you from the worst of it, and the quieter playgrounds tend to cluster there — places where a toddler won't get overwhelmed and you can hear yourself think. Traffic noise and the constant metal-clanging of busy parks just amplifies the heat stress.
