Places with a changing table in Walnut Creek

A big Walnut Creek park with two playgrounds, a duck pond, wide lawns and restrooms. Easy parking, and shade in the right spots.

Tot and big-kid playgrounds plus a gated spray ground with a small water slide and a lifeguard. Lindsay Wildlife Experience and the model railroad share the grounds.

Grass-fed burgers with a proper kids' menu, counter-service speed, and a free-kids-meal deal good for dine-in, takeout, or delivery.

Piadine, pizza, and pasta on Main Street with gluten-free options, beer and wine for the adults, and a Thursday kids-eat-free deal.

The Napa-born roadside burger stand at Broadway Plaza: burgers, salads, and shakes at outdoor tables where nobody minds a loud toddler, close to Heather Farm Park.

A family breakfast house and weekend pancake institution, with a just-for-kids menu of silver-dollar pancakes and chicken strips.

A maximalist eat-and-play spot for all ages, with over-the-top bites and games built into the concept.
