El Pueblo Inn

A big accessible playground, picnic sites and flat trails through meadows and an old orchard that work for strollers and short legs.

Sonoma Plaza's garden cafe: breakfast and lunch on a leafy back patio with the duck pond playground across the square.

Thin-crust New Haven-style pizza half a block off the Plaza, with patio seating.

A playground with bocce and volleyball courts, picnic tables and the small Depot Park Museum next door.

The original Mary's, born on Sonoma Plaza in 1959, where kids make their own pizzas (dough, sauce, cheese, toppings delivered to the table).

The playground inside the historic plaza: two age-split structures, a sand pit, a duck pond and huge shade trees, with cheese shops, bakeries and ice cream all around.
