Kid-friendly places in San Leandro

San Leandro's first all-abilities playground after a full makeover: ramped structures, in-ground merry-go-round, roller slide, musical instruments, and permanent cornhole and chess tables. Zocalo Coffeehouse (with its own kids' play area) is close by.

Flat waterfront paths with Bay views made for strollers, scooters, and first bike rides, plus a small playground and a rocky shoreline for pebble-throwing. The sunny-day Bay Trail outing for San Leandro families.

An independent coffeehouse with its own kids' play area, plus sandwiches, pastries and a community-board feel.

The East Bay's only nonprofit indoor playground, with a turf field, a mini town for pretend play, a foam cube pit and a low-sensory room.
