Ruby's

Free outdoor artwork with no cover and no lighting, so it's a daylight, fair-weather stop rather than a plan for the whole afternoon.

Outer Sunset fish shack with outdoor tables and a play area, so kids move while the tacos come.

Built around a ship you climb aboard and steer, so there's a game to play rather than just equipment; works for toddlers up through the early school years.

The schoolyard opens to the community on weekends, so this is a useful extra play option when school is out.

Neighborhood coffee roaster with space for strollers and a relaxed morning crowd.

Come here when the kids mostly want to run. Four big sports fields sit near the windmills and ocean.
