Windyhill Park — Attraction in Marina

What a nice, quiet little park in a nice neighborhood. It has everything most kids would want and then some. Slides? Check. Swings? Check. Jungle gym? Check. Monkey bars? Check. It has a nice little field for soccer or football games along with a pathway around it if one is inclined to do laps for exercise. Leashed cats and dogs are welcome.

I did notice a portable outhouse near the row of eucalyptus trees, but I didn't frequent it. Overall, it's a fun park. Parking is limited to curbside, there is not a dedicated parking lot. I don't think dogs are allowed. I...

It's not especially user-friendly to kids under five years old. My three year old had a hard time with the equipment.

There is a swing set with two regular and two baby swings. There are assorted slides, a bridge, some monkey bars, and other climbing equipment. The playground area is sandy.

That said, the park was relatively quiet, very clean, and was being used by kids of the appropriate age level and there weren't...
