Playgrounds for a whole afternoon in Davis
What turns a quick hour at the playground into a whole afternoon? Honestly, two things: a restroom and somewhere to eat. These 5 playgrounds in Davis have both right there, and each listing tells you whether a stroller gets in and whether there's coffee nearby.
Downtown Davis's park, where the Saturday farmers market sets up, with play areas and Natalie's Corner, a free splash pad for summer. Market plus splash pad is a pretty perfect Saturday.
West Davis's big park, with a climbing structure rebuilt in 2019, a tot area and greenbelt bike paths, plus a pool with water slides in summer.
Davis's community-built wooden play world: castles, turrets, bridges, a pirate ship and a huge sandbox. It's the playground every Davis parent names first, and the park around it makes a half day.
A Wildhorse park with a separate little-kid playground under shade sails, next to a bigger structure for older siblings. A good toddler pick.
An East Davis park named for its big grassy hill, which kids slide down. There's a playground and a summer city pool too.
