Buchanan Field Airport Viewing Plaza – Children’s Playground

If your kid is obsessed with planes, this little playground right at Buchanan Field is kind of a no-brainer. It’s geared toward the 2-7 crowd, fully enclosed so you’re not chasing anyone into a parking lot, and the real draw is watching actual aircraft take off and land while they play. Bring lunch — there are shaded picnic tables, which honestly makes a big difference on a hot Concord afternoon. Parking is easy, and it’s a solid bike ride from several nearby neighborhoods if you want to make a morning of it.
