Magical Bridge Playground

The original Magical Bridge that started the movement: engineered from scratch so kids with autism, sensory sensitivities, and mobility differences play on the SAME equipment as everyone else. Families drive across the Bay Area just for this one. Mitchell Park around it adds water play, tennis, and a dog park.

Old-school Palo Alto motor inn with koi lagoons, waterfalls, and a heated outdoor pool, plus a poolside restaurant on site. The gardens make it feel like a small resort rather than an El Camino hotel.

Palo Alto's retro-resort 'Cabana': a big outdoor pool courtyard with cabanas that feels like Palm Springs, family rooms and suites, minutes to Stanford and Magical Bridge Mitchell.

A large former orchard park with open space and shady trees, featuring slides, climbing stones, a water table, and a train for kids.
