Lafayette Park

Top pick Parent reviewed

Views, extensive playground full of bridges, and coffee at the summit, the only though tough about this playground is parking.

Parking here is hard. Be prepared to circle around the park perimeter, and also that you'll experience a hill to walk on. It's worth it.

I personally love this place. The only difficult thing about Lafayette park is the parking, but this play facility is awesome for kiddos of all ages. There’s a volcano, there are tree forts, bridges, caves; there’s views, clean bathrooms, and COFFEE for parents. I could go on about how regulated I feel when I enter the playground and grab a treat for myself, but the only tough part about this place is the parking. Nearby, you have Alta Plaza park which is similar, and maybe just a small star short from this playground, with slightly easier parking. I personally find this playground to be worth the trip.
