Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Hayward (3)
Mia's Dream Come True Playground
A fully gated all-abilities playground in Tennyson Park: accessible structures, bucket swings, a Liberty Swing that fits a whole wheelchair, an airplane play piece, and a bathroom parents rave about. Worth the drive from anywhere in the county.
Kennedy Park
Old-school family park on Hesperian with a mini train, petting zoo, pony rides, and a merry-go-round alongside the regular playgrounds - the cheap-thrills trifecta that has entertained Hayward kids for generations.
Sulphur Creek Nature Center
A free nature center with an indoor space to explore.
