American Canyon's Donaldson Way community park: playground, big lawns, and sports fields, an everyday gathering spot.

Guy Fieri's chicken-tender counter: 22 sauces to dip through, sandwiches and shakes, made for picky eaters and sauce-curious kids alike.

American Canyon's sit-down Mexican: combo plates, kids' portions, and a relaxed family room on Broadway.

American Canyon's family pizza parlor: big crispy-pepperoni pies, arcade-ish energy, and team-party tables. The post-game default.

The city pool, with open swim sessions for families and private pool parties for birthdays.
