2. [Meadow Homes Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/meadow-homes-park-concord) (playground, Concord). Concord's playground-plus-spray-park combo: a traditional climbing structure with a free city spray park running Memorial Day through late September, with separate zones for toddlers and bigger kids. Kids rotate between structure and spray jets all afternoon. Has: shade.
3. [Concord Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/concord-community-park-concord) (playground, Concord). Concord's biggest park playground, a wide-structure setup for mixed ages with the city's aquatic park right next door. Tennis courts, lawns, and picnic shelters too. Has: shade.
4. [Pixieland Amusement Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/pixieland-amusement-park-concord) (playground, Concord). A pint-sized amusement park for the under-8 crowd: Dragon Coaster, teacups, carousel, frog hopper, and a train that loops the neighboring park and pond. Small and contained enough that one parent can solo two kids without losing anyone. Has: shade.
