How kid-friendly is it?
Nearby places
Community center with a playground.
Several food counters around a shaded yard with play equipment, so kids play while everyone orders something different.
Square, cheesy Detroit-style pizza and waffles from a food-park counter, with outdoor tables and cornhole. Gluten-free and vegan options for a mixed table.
A walk-up bakery counter in a food park, with from-scratch cookies, bars and pastries that change daily. Let your kid pick from the case.
Swings, shade and open grass to run on, but no climbing structure. The pond in the middle is stormwater, not for splashing.
Indoor walls that take climbers from age 5, and under-13s need their own adult with them, so plan on one grown-up per kid.
