Seal Point Park may not have a playground, but its a close enough walk across the bridge to get to the Ryder park playground which is perfect for toddlers. Flat, stroller-friendly trails wind along the shoreline, with gorgeous bay views and a front-row seat to planes making their approach into SFO — genuinely captivating for curious toddlers who could watch planes all day.

The trails are wide, accessible, and easy enough for toddlers on bikes or little legs that need a gentle adventure. Fresh air, open space, and beautiful scenery make it a wonderful way to burn off energy without the chaos of a busy playground. The expansive dog park gives furry family members plenty of room to roam too.

One practical heads up: bathrooms are only available at the base of the trail at either end of the parking lot, so plan accordingly before heading out.
