Gerstle Playground

Honestly one of the better spots in San Rafael for the under-6 crowd. The climbing structure is solid — nothing too intimidating for toddlers, but enough to keep them genuinely busy. It’s the kind of place you can actually relax a little while the kids do their thing, because it stays well-kept and the vibe is calm rather than chaotic. Locals with little ones tend to come back here again and again, and you can see why.
