Playground

Locals know this little Cloverdale spot is one of the cleaner playgrounds you’ll find around here — someone’s actually taking care of it, which you don’t always see. The climbing structure is big enough to keep older kids busy while the toddler swings handle the little ones, so you’re not constantly shuttling between equipment. Shade trees do real work on hot afternoons, and the quiet neighborhood setting means you can actually hear yourself think. There’s a pond nearby that adds a nice backdrop for a longer visit if the kids need a change of scenery.
