I like that the playground is gated... however, some kids and even parents don't get the clue and leave the gates open so you have to be very cautious since there is an entrance/exit that goes straight into the del amo busy street. It is scary if you're relying on the gates being closed all the time. Other than that, it is a small sand park, with a small parking lot, but my kids love it. Edited to add: it's close to a walking trail that's perfect to get your steps in. It's a quiet nature trail with wildflowers and lots...
