Santos Rodriguez Memorial Park, Seattle
This fully-fenced playground in front of El Centro De La Raza is a delight for families living on Beacon Hill. Kids will have fun on the colorful climbing structures, which have little roofs on the tops of each platform. There’s also mosaic art that looks like stepping stones, swings and a demonstration garden. Parents and grandparents can keep an eye on the kids from nearby benches, and everyone can duck under the covered shelter if rain hits.
Location: 2524 16th Ave. S., Seattle. Park on the street or consider taking transit to this central location.
Warm up: The Station, a neighborhood coffee shop, is right in the same block and tasty Despi Delite Bakery is just a stone’s throw away.
Next stop: O.O. Denny
