Fiorella Noe

Belgian bakery with a changing table and room for strollers.

There is a real kids menu with kebab, gyro or nuggets plus rice, fries, hummus or falafel, which makes ordering painless.

A small public square off 24th Street with a slide set into a low mound, room to run and seating all around the edge. The neighborhood farmers market takes it over on Saturday mornings, often with live music.

A toddler-friendly playground with a big sand area and a bench where parents can sip coffee.

Two parks in one: a lower terrace with the playground, courts and picnic spots, and an upper terrace with a downtown view where the dog can run.

A newer play area with a nature exploration zone and a path that nods to the old railroad line that once ran through here.
