Piney Church Playground

If you’ve got a toddler or preschooler and you’re just looking for somewhere low-key to burn off some energy, this little spot in Concord does the job well. The fenced-in play area is the real draw — parents with runners and wanderers will appreciate not having to chase anyone into the street. It’s a quiet neighborhood park, so don’t expect a ton of foot traffic or noise, which honestly makes it more relaxing for everyone. Benches right outside the enclosure mean you can actually sit down while keeping an eye on things. Best suited for the 2-6 crowd; older kids will probably get bored fast, but little ones seem to love it.
