Dracena Quarry Park

Nice playground for kids but hard to find as the address takes you to the top of the hill. Wide open spaces with beautiful trees.

a review from @amom2kidsandapark

A nice park nestled in the hills of Piedmont with giant trees, tall bridges, plenty of green grass, a tree stump picnic table and a unique playground.
The play area has swings, a structure, plenty of sand, a climbing wall and a wide cement slide in the center. (A perfect alternative to the long windy cement slide at Codornices). The structure has steps, a climbing surface, a ladder, monkey bars, a steering wheel and a noise maker. The other side of the slide is mostly sand with a few small knee high rocks for climbing. The play area has two swing sets (standard on one side of the big slide and bucket on the other). Between the sandy play area and the open grass field is a great climbing wall with many options for the aspiring rock climbers. The grass area is surrounded by a sidewalk look making a perfect place for scooting or biking. There’s no exit beyond the climbing wall so it’s a nice worry free space to let a kid play.
The playground is near the bathrooms 💯
This park is, just like it’s name says, on an old an old quarry and young geologists can climb the hills and see evidence of the parks history.
There are many entrances into this park. From the lower entrance Ricardo Ave, it’s a short walk up a sidewalk to the playground. From El Cerrito Ave it’s even less of a distance. There is resident only parking on Artuna Ave so be mindful of that. There are a few entrances on Park Way that start out in the trees and a couple on Dracena Way.
There is off leash dog areas so be aware if you have littles who might get frightened.

Don’t miss the very lord of the rings vibe tree stump table 🤩

This long, narrow park is nestled in redwoods that provide natural shade and climbing opportunities. The grassy meadows are lovely for picnics, parties, and sports. The play structures are simple and small but kept clean and well maintained. It is not enclosed from the street so it's necessary not to be distracted from little ones. Visibility is low from the back end of the park to the front. Parking is not bad. The neighborhood has lots of hills and expensive homes, the park reflects that vibe.

Reallu nice place to come here with your dog or kids (warning is nor gated park for dogs) this park is really neutibul amd nice

AT NIGHT !! Bring flash light cus it gets really dark

Surrounded by high cliffs so a lot of shades on sunny days and if you want a lot of sun area also. Children staff also cool, climbing wall for kids and scooter area. Drinking fresh water also available side of climbing area.
