Donner Park Playground and Splash Pad

Drawing, collage and painting workshops for ages six to ten inside a working gallery, so a young artist gets a real studio.

A big playground under the trees, so it stays shaded, with a musical garden to play on after the slides.

A small playground with swings next to a soccer field, so an older kid can kick a ball while a younger one swings. Bring your own ball.

Wood-fired pizza to share in a taproom, with lemonade and apple juice for the kids. The room's small, so go with a small group.

Short trails down to the water where kids can hunt for small crabs, plus a pier to look out from.

Two separate playground areas plus fields, courts and a skate park, so a bigger kid has plenty to do while a small one climbs.
