Crocker Amazon Purple Playground

Better for sporty kids than playground seekers, with soccer fields, ball fields, basketball and plenty of room to run.

A gated playground for small tots next to structures for older kids, with a sandbox, courts and picnic tables; clubhouse programs in several languages.

Cute for toddlers, with a little train, animal details, swings and slides. There are no bathrooms, and parking can be annoying.

Excelsior dessert cafe with air hockey to hold off a meltdown while they pick from the ice cream case.

A tiny neighborhood park with two slides, swings, a climbing wall and a fenced basketball court. Best for younger kids.
