Midtown Terrace Playground

The high lookout over the whole city. Windy and cold most days, no shelter, but the view is the view; go at dusk.

A playground with a short walk into a real urban canyon, where you can find a creek, rock formations and spring wildflowers.

Best for climbers, with a tall rope structure, rock wall and play bridges rather than a ton of little kid equipment.

A neighborhood playground attached to fields, tennis, picnic space and a rec clubhouse, easy to turn into a longer outing.

Wooden play structure and swings for small kids, a renovated soccer field, two tennis courts, and a community nursery school on the grounds.
