Think of a playground - and you might expect swing sets, structures to climb, balance beams, hills, trees, shrubs, ponds.

How about a Cosmic Brownie that you can climb?

Or maybe a statue of Little Debbie?

You’ll find it all in Collegedale - at Little Debbie Park, opening Friday at 9 AM behind The Commons on Swinyar Drive.

Chris McKee is president and chief operating officer of McKee Foods.

Artist Alex Paul Loza sculpted the Little Debbie statue.
