About this place
Davis's community-built wooden play world: castles, turrets, bridges, a pirate ship and a huge sandbox. It's the playground every Davis parent names first, and the park around it makes a half day.
How kid-friendly is it?

Downtown Davis's park, where the Saturday farmers market sets up, with play areas and Natalie's Corner, a free splash pad for summer. Market plus splash pad is a pretty perfect Saturday.
A downtown Davis crepe café with a genuinely long kids' list: cheese crepes, sugar crepes, little pancakes, French toast, grilled cheese.
A Wildhorse park with a separate little-kid playground under shade sails, next to a bigger structure for older siblings. A good toddler pick.
A little Davis dessert shop for Italian ice made in house and frozen custard, or both layered in a cup. There are games to play while you eat.
Downtown Davis pizza and pasta that every Davis family guide names. It's quick, and kids sometimes get a ball of dough to play with at the table.
