There's a regular playground on the opposite end of the small parking lot that features swings, slides, and climbing structures. The playground seems clean and well maintained with the zoo being right across the bridge. The downside is the supposed smog exposure due to its close proximity to the freeway."

It was a little scary for my 18 m old twins- the steep terrain, hills, etc made it difficult to let them play. Nicer for older kiddos & cute area to stop for a rest from driving. Also close to the zoo."
