Dimond Park
A 12-acre choose-your-own-adventure park in the Dimond District: three play structures from tot-lot to big-kid, Sausal Creek to stomp in (bring water shoes), paved paths for scooters, and trailheads toward Joaquin Miller. Dimond Slice Pizza and Grand Lake Kitchen are right there after.
Frog Park (Temescal Creek Park)
A volunteer-built Temescal classic: a sprawling wooden fortress structure, a big sand pit, and a shallow creek kids wade in on warm days. The Temescal strip's coffee and food are a block away for the grown-ups.
Mosswood Park
An Oakland neighbourhood park with a fenced playground, big trees for shade, and restrooms on site.
