Community Church Big Bear play area

Right next to the church off the main drag in Big Bear Lake, this little play area is one of those spots locals know about but tourists tend to miss. It’s nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point — families from the congregation and the neighborhood use it as a low-key hangout, especially on weekends. If you’ve got young kids and you’re looking for somewhere chill to let them run around without driving all over the mountain, it does the job.
