Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Pacifica (4)

Pacifica's western-themed playground: a ticket-booth play structure, tube slides, climbing net and wall, balance beams, a tire swing and a sandbox, set against the hills. Big reservable BBQ picnic area for parties.

A surf-town pocket playground shaped like a beached boat, with a surfboard entryway, carved sea creatures and two slides at different heights. Tucked behind the Pedro Point firehouse; easy to miss, rarely crowded.

A beachy spot with family-friendly trails and a giant swing overlooking the water.

A pier outside the Bay where you can catch and keep Dungeness crabs in season.
