Coachman Park Playground

If you’re going to drag the kids to the waterfront anyway, this is the spot to do it. The climbing structure keeps them busy while you actually get to sit in the shade and watch the bay — and those sunset views over the water are genuinely hard to beat. There’s a sandbox too, which younger ones will happily disappear into for an hour. Restrooms are clean, parking isn’t a nightmare, and the splash pad nearby means you’re basically set for a full afternoon. Locals know to time it right and stick around for the sunset.
