Electric Dough Pizza Co.

A toy shop sorted by age, toddler through teen, so your kid heads straight for their shelf of trains, LEGO or games.

A small green square with a lion fountain to look at, and storytime in the gazebo now and then.

House-made gelato and chocolate, a treat that works for you as well as the kids.

An independent bookstore with a proper kids' section and the occasional story time, an easy place to browse together.

An old-school walk-up window for ice cream cones. Eat them outside, and keep kids clear of the street.

Old oaks and magnolias shade the swings, climbing cube and spinners. Some entrances aren't gated, so keep an eye on a runner.
