Free things to do with kids in Danville

A 17-acre former ranch with separate play areas for younger and older kids, walking trails, and a motion-activated tunnel of spraying metal tubes with ground jets.

A giant mosaic serpent winds down the hill, and the 2025 renovation added nature-inspired climbers, musical play pieces and game tables for a wider age range.

A picnic-first park with a playground, bocce courts, big shade trees and reservable picnic areas, next to the elementary school and a regular birthday-party spot.
