Plaza Israel

Right by Caño Martin Peña, this little plaza tends to fly under the radar, which honestly makes it great for parents with toddlers who just want a chill afternoon without the crowds. The play area is sized just right for the small ones — nothing overwhelming, nothing too far from the benches. There’s a basketball court if older kids or adults want to get a game in, and you’ve got restrooms on-site, which, let’s be real, is non-negotiable when you’re wrangling a toddler. It’s a real neighborhood spot, not a destination, but that’s kind of the point.
