37th Street Playlot

If you’re doing the Walnut Canyon Trailhead with kids, this little playlot on 37th Street is a solid pit stop before or after the hike. It’s the kind of spot locals actually use rather than drive past — close enough to High Flyers Gymnastics that you can kill time here if you’re early for a class. The forest setting gives it a nice feel, which honestly makes it better than a lot of the more “official” parks in town. Nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point.
