The Gamble House

A giant pirate ship with cannons and a plank, bucket swings for little ones, and a sand pit with running water that keeps castles standing. Built to be wheelchair accessible throughout.

Three and a half acres of hands-on everything: a stream to splash in, a physics forest to climb and a muddy farm for digging.

A quiet pocket park under the Colorado Street Bridge with modern play equipment, grassy meadows and one of the best bridge views in town.

An Old Town base with an outdoor pool and hot tub, walking distance to more than 100 shops and restaurants.

An Old Pasadena arcade packed with playable 80s and 90s machines, where kids meet the games their parents grew up on.

A rubberized playground with separate toddler and big-kid sections, walking distance from Old Pasadena's toy stores and ice cream.
